It is important to remember where grace comes from. It's important to remember what grace actually means. True grace only comes from God.

Why do we come? Why do we come to church with the house of God? We are to come to church first and foremost, worship God Almighty and bring glory to Him. To be consumed by zeal for the house of God. The temple of God is for worship and prayer.

Part 12 of "Building a church on the inside." There are characteristics that we need to gain. To remain faithful and strive for holiness. It's important that we have good character. These are just a few of the traits we should all add to ourselves.

Keeping our faith in Jesus Christ is a vital component of being a Christian. We must trust in God's Word and all it says. Whether we can see it or not. God is working in our lives.

Life is full of struggles and hardships.We all face times when we need to hold on to God.When Jacob was coming back to the promised land, he wrestled

with God. We need to be like that also. God is faithful to bring us through whatever we face.

Part 11 of "Building a church on the inside." We all need the Holy Spirit. Jesus left so He could come back to be our comforter. We are called to walk or live our lives with Him. He is our power source, our help, our teacher, our everything. He's here to help us make it to heaven and to help others get there too.

We all have been given blessings, gifts, abilities, and talents. Yet are we using them? Do we even know what they are? Are we happy with the ones we have, or are we longing for what someone else has? We all have things God has given to us. The question is, what are we doing with what has been trusted to us personally.

Courage is doing what needs to be done, even if we are afraid. We are called to love everyone just as Jesus did. That means even loving ourselves. We have to get our own hearts, minds, and thoughts lined up with the will and word of God. Self-control is key to walking in God's will and not our own. We can be our own worst enemy. We must keep our flesh in check, or the race we run could be lost.....

Part 10 of " Building a church on the inside." As Christians, we should be people of action.

We can not be afraid to do what the word of God says to do.

To not just say that with our words but to do it in everyday life. To have spiritual might to fight the good fight.

Part 9 of "Building a church on the inside." There's been an atmospheric extremity. There is something on the way, and it doesn't look good. Something that will shake the whole earth, and there will be nothing we can do to stop it. Be prepared now....or you might not make it... You will need persevering courage.
