It’s so wonderful to have the knowledge of being redeemed. Being free from the grip of sin and knowing there’s a better way to live – wonderful!

God has created us with the need to get into a closer relationship with Him. As Pastor Mark is teaching, staying at the beginning of our journey as Christ followers isn’t what God intended. He wants us to grow and mature; it’s the only way to stay out of the clutches of our old way of life. It’s also the only way to be useful to God. We need to reach out and touch others with God’s love so they will have a chance to know Him, too.
