It's only when Jesus is the prize that sanctification is happening. As a Christian you are counted as righteous because of Christ, not of anything you've done right or wrong in this life. But now begins a different work, that of sanctification. What does this mean and what does it look like in our life? Let's explore it today! 

Scripture Referenced: Hebrews 12 and Psalm 19:12-13 

The PACT Pick is "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life" by Donald S. Whitney. 

Today we're exploring the difference between these terms: ambition, contentment and apathy. As Christians we can struggle with having ungodly ambitions and looking for contentment in things other than Christ. Or, we can just not care, walk into our everyday life with apathetic views toward everyone we encounter. Let's talk about how to cure apathy in our life and begin living an ambitious life for Christ. 

We define the packed word that is "sin". It's often a word associated with bondage, but we explore the attitude followers of Christ should have regarding sin. It might not be what you would expect. Let's talk about it! 

Come to church with expectation and anticipation. Don't fret over distractions or noisy kids. Prepare, be present and worship. Today we're talking about how to approach Sunday mornings with your family. 

You have the Bible, so where do you begin? Why is it important to read it? How often should we study? We delve into these questions and more.

Let's first understand that the Bible is food. If you want to have a healthy diet, you don't want to starve yourself.

It's the same with Scripture.

You study the Bible to know God. Together, let's get to know Him a little better today. 

Is it normal for Christians to doubt? Is it okay for a Christian to doubt? We talk about the many types of doubt in the Christian life and look at what Matthew 9:23-25 has to teach us about it. 

Last week we discussed what biblical forgiveness looks like. Today, we go even deeper, exploring the relationship between forgiveness and restoration. Is restoration a necessity to the process of forgiveness? Are there levels of restoration after you've forgiven the one who wronged you in some way? Let's talk about it. 

Forgive and forget. Is that biblical? Is it even possible? Let's explore it from a practical and biblical perspective. 

Addiction is seen from many different perspectives. Some see it as a purely moral issue. Others see it as a disease where no choice is involved. We talk with Dr. Larry Purcell who has counseled many over the years struggling with different forms of addiction. Listen in for a new definition and perspective of addiction and how the church family can respond. 

We are image bearers of God, but quickly confuse who we are with what we do. Today, we talk through where we find our identity. The question to think through today is: "Whose glory am I concerned with?" We reference the creation story and also the story of Elijah in 1 Kings 17-19. The PACT Pick of the week is: Found in Him: The Joy of the Incarnation and Our Union with Christ.
