Your life was not rescued by sentiment or slogans but by the highest ransom imaginable—Jesus giving Himself in your place. He covered every debt, shattered every chain, and opened a future you could never purchase. The price proves His love and guarantees His commitment to finish what He began. Receive that costly love with gratitude, walk free of shame, and live boldly for Him. And in today's message, Pastor Chris will ask you to let Christ’s sacrifice define your identity and purpose.
Today, Pastor Jack teaches that whenever we run ahead of God, it doesn’t end well for us. But, if we just worship, and wait upon the Lord, He will often move Heaven and earth on our behalf.
