Life isn't always happy, but for the Christian, there is always joy to be found. Join us this week for a very special episode with Drew Meadows, youth pastor of Marion Baptist Church.
Where does your righteousness come from? So many of us seem to think we must work and try to tip the scale in our favor for God to call us His. But in reality this is impossible, and more importantly, unnecessary. God simply calls us to believe and to accept His gift of grace. From that point on, our actions are not an attempt to earn God's acceptance, but a response to having already received it. Thanks for stopping by!
As we grow closer to God, we begin to see His perfection, our imperfection, and the great rift that lies in the difference. When this happens, it can become tempting to rely on our own actions, constantly striving to do more good in hopes that it will eventually outweigh our bad, but it never does. Join us today as we explore how to escape the cycle of action and finally know the eternal joy of acceptance through Jesus Christ. Thanks for stopping by!
Let's face it, no one likes to feel as though they are being disciplined, especially by God.

We often choose one or two aspects of God and hold on to them, largely ignoring the rest. Love, mercy, judgement, grace, holiness, correction...the list is endless.

Thanks for stopping by!
We don't often associate joy with obligations, but we are obligated to God because of who He is and what He has done through His son, Jesus Christ. This is one obligation, however, that we should be eager to fulfill because it allows us to take part in the privilege of serving God. Join us as we explore this joyful obligation. Thanks for stopping by!
"Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God..." - In 19 words, Paul communicates that his identity and purpose is fully dependent on the one true God.

Join us as we explore the freedom of servitude.

When is the last time you delighted in God's instruction? It may seem like a strange attitude to have, but it is key to having a life that is fully devoted to God and God alone.
