What is your motivation for trying to please the Lord? As you listen to today's message from Pastor Richard, he asks you to consider this question. Is your motivation to receive something from the Lord? Or is your motivation simply because of your love for Him? Pastor Richard encourages you, to let the love for God be your aim and motivating factor. Let the love and reverence you have for God propel you forward to living for Him.

In case you’re wondering, you can’t do anything to earn salvation. That’s a fact – any good deed you do won’t excuse the insurmountable list of bad you’ve done. That’s why you need someone to pay for all your sin debt. And even greater news – Someone already did! Pastor Bryan will remind you today how Jesus gave His life so that you could be free from that debt. And now, the good deeds you do are a response to what Jesus has done!

In today's message, Pastor Richard will share with you that you're a temple of the Most High God. When you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit takes up residence in you. Where you go, God is with you, comforting and guiding... This should give us the confidence to know that no matter what, God is with us! And it should give us pause to ensure that we're properly representing Christ and caring for the temple He is in.

Who exactly needs grace? Pastor Bryan asks you that today as he continues to explore this baffling word. Grace means that you’re getting something you don’t deserve. In fact, you’re getting more than that, for free! And it’s all because someone else died on a cross, a horrible and painful death. That, someone, was God’s Son, Jesus. That death paid for sin, for you, and for everyone. So because everyone has sinned…everyone needs grace!

The Gospel message isn’t complicated. People have sinned, and they can’t do enough to pay for it. God sent His Son to die for us instead – Jesus paid the debt for everyone with His life! So now, you confess you need Jesus to be your Savior, and your free, forever! Grace has been given, and it’s not going to end. But as Pastor Bryan shares today, that seems too easy – and sadly still today people try to add more to it. But truly, grace is that simple!

In today's message, Pastor Richard will encourage you to lead by example. For some Christians, you've been walking with the Lord for many years, several decades even. And for some other Christians, you're very new to your relationship with Jesus... And as brothers and sisters in Christ, we can come alongside one another and lead by example. For those of you that have been with the Lord longer, make yourself available to those who are new.

Grace is free – FREE. No cost to you. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, today Pastor Bryan is going to begin telling you all about the grace of Jesus – the free gift He’s offering you if only you’ll come to Him. You can’t earn it – and you definitely can’t pay for it! Jesus already did – He paid with His life on the cross. Now you might be thinking, what’s the catch? Pastor Bryan will assure you there isn’t one – so why wait to accept this gift?

The Apostle Paul speaks of our faith journey as a race that we need to finish. Today, Pastor Richard wants you to know, that the supernatural event of being born again, is just the beginning of the work of the Spirit in your life. You just began your race, and Paul writes, that you are to run so as to win the prize. But, the amazing part, is how God does it all in us, and all we have to do is believe, and submit to His authority to cause it to happen.

It's easy to get into the mindset that we are really bringing something special to God when we come into a relationship with Him through Jesus. When you hear it said that way...it's laughable, right :-)!?!?!? We brought nothing but our sinfulness to the LORD. And thankfully, He provided complete forgiveness for us. Today Pastor Bryan will continue to focus on the culmination of grace...how grace truly changes us and makes us more like Jesus day by day.
