What is the difference between justice, grace, and mercy? In today’s message, Pastor Eddie defines them and states that every Christian should understand these three words. Justice is getting what we deserve. God would be just in sending His wrath on every sinner. Grace, however, is receiving what we do not deserve. We are saved by God’s grace. Mercy is holding back the punishment for what we do deserve. God provides all three.

Jesus Christ died for ALL. The sacrifice on the cross, and the gift of eternal life, have been made available to every human being, but we must choose to believe and follow Him. Today, Pastor Eddie will teach through this fundamental Truth of the Gospel. The Lord desires that all will come to a saving knowledge of Him. Have you made that choice in your life today? Believe upon the One who made the only way for Salvation!

When you suffer BECAUSE of your faith, you can take great hope in Jesus. In today’s message, Pastor Eddie highlights the theme of Peter’s letter rooted in faith, hope, and suffering. As you endure challenges in life, you can rest in the truth that your faith is being stretched and that the Lord will carry you. What difficulties are you facing? Is your faith in the Lord leading to struggles at times? Find hope in the presence of Jesus!

How cool is it that the entirety of the Bible, featuring many authors telling many different stories, all flows in harmony together with the same message? In today’s teaching, as Pastor Eddie begins his study through the book of 1 Peter, he pauses to acknowledge God’s incredible Word. Why wouldn’t you turn to the Bible as your source for life? The Lord wants to speak to you personally through the many Truths found in It!

What all did Jesus accomplish on the cross? In today’s message, Pastor Eddie will close out the book of Hebrews with a reminder from the author to cling to the new covenant that was brought by Jesus. The Jews were so used to following the rituals of the old covenant, that it was hard for many to believe Jesus removed that need. The Son of God made a way for all to spend eternity with Him, and access Him every day through prayer!

In today’s teaching, as Pastor Eddie begins to wrap up the book of Hebrews, he walks listeners through some final key thoughts from the author. Even in the writing of the Bible, authors knew the power of prayer and requested it from those who would be reading. What a great example for us to practice the same discipline. We should proudly lean on those who we endure life with, to lift us up daily in fervent support and prayer!

Who gets respect in our culture today? And not just respect because you happen to like them, but respect because of the position God has placed them in. Today, Pastor Eddie shares that God wants us to respect authority, and those in authority. Because God is the author of all authority. Whom do you have trouble respecting? What work does God want to do in your life to change how you think, feel, speak, and act toward them?

When you listen to people on the news, on social media, or around the break room at work, what comes out of their mouths? And where does it come from? Today, Pastor Eddie shares that God wants to cleanse how we speak. But more than that, He wants to cleanse the hearts of the speakers. When you listen to yourself, does it reflect a heart purified by Christ? If that’s a struggle for you, then Jesus is willing and able to do a new work!

Who have been the spiritual leaders in your life? Perhaps it was a parent or a friend, or maybe it was a pastor or small group leader. Today, Pastor Eddie encourages us to think about the people whom God has placed in our lives. Spend some time reflecting on them. What influence have they had on you? And what about their walk with Christ? How has following God made them the people they are, and shaped the outcome of their lives?

What do you think? Are we born with contentment with what we have? Or are we born always wanting something else? And what do you learn as you’re growing up, and what happens to you as an adult? Does our hyper-saturated advertising culture encourage being satisfied with what we have, or always wanting more? Today, Pastor Eddie shows that you can learn to be content. It’s not natural, or cultural, but through Jesus, you can do it.
