    How wonderful it is that we have personal access to the Creator of the universe! Join pastor Brian Pursley as he encourages us to celebrate the work of Jesus Christ - the very work that allows us direct access to God Almighty. Because of Jesus' saving sacrifice, and none of our own merits, we can rejoice even in suffering, holding on to the hope that is the glorious return of our Savior.

    The Lord saw Abraham's faith and counted it for righteousness. Do we, also, have faith the Lord will see? Join pastor Brian Pursley as he reflects on Abraham's faith in God's promises. Of course, there is no perfect work we can do to deserve salvation. Instead, our faith depends on Christ's perfection, and He was able to both pay the penalty for sin as the perfect Sacrifice, and to overcome death and the grave by His resurrection!

    Is it possible to earn salvation? Join pastor Jacob Bauder as he shares the perspective of Scripture in Romans 4. The answer is, "no." It is not possible to be good enough to get to Heaven. But there is good news! Although God's justice and righteousness require a punishment for sin, Jesus willingly gave His life so we can be restored to good standing with the Father, only by faith in God's grace and mercy.

    How can we boast about good works, when it is only the blood of Jesus that can save us? Join pastor Brian Pursley as he reminds us of this core Gospel truth: we need Jesus. Though God may never be impressed with how good we can be, He loves us and made a plan for our redemption despite our unworthiness. As Scripture says, "...we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law." (Romans 3:28)

    Growing: Part 5

    God's ways are so much greater than our ways. We become dependent on ourselves and our own abilities, and are driven by the idea that we have to reach our full potential. Join Pastor Brian Pursley as we investigate Jesus withdrawing himself away from everything in the wilderness for 40 days. Spend time praying within isolation. Create spiritual discipline, by finding a place where you can be in that isolation everyday. God frequently communicates with us, and sometimes it's very obvious. More often than not though, he is more subtle and whispers. Create a space where you can hear that.

    Do you struggle with the concept of God's wrath? Join pastor Brian Pursley as he examines Romans chapter 3 and its commentary on righteousness. Though we may struggle to understand how a loving God can also be wrathful, we recognize that, in order for God to show His righteousness, sin must have consequences. If God has no wrath, and does not judge, there is ultimately no penalty for even the worst crimes. Since God's righteous judgment shows no partiality, how blessed are we who count on Jesus' sacrifice for our redemption!

    Knowledge of the law will not save you! Join Pastor Brian Pursley as he shares from Romans 2:12-29 on the difference between knowing the law, doing the law, and trusting in God! Everyone innately knows the law of God, but the only hope for salvation is through a relationship with Jesus!

    May we never presume that, judging others, we will avoid judgment ourselves! Join pastor Brian Pursley as he shares both the sobering and encouraging truth of God's impartiality. Romans 2:9 says, "There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil," but verses 10 and 11 say, "but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good... For God shows no partiality." What a blessing it is to be counted among those who are righteous, and it is all thanks to the mercy and grace of God!
