How to Not Be a Hypocrite (as much)

No Longer Orphans

Garrett ended Sunday with 10 implications of our adoption into the family of God. I simply want to restate them as a reminder of the enormous gift we have been given in Jesus Christ. ONE | We are free from the orphan’s burden to be good enough to receive God’s favor. God’s favor rests on […]

EPHESIANS 1.13-14 I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I […]

I was darkness all of my life, I never knew the day from the night, But Spirit, you made me see. I swore I knew the way on my own; Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone But Spirit, you moved in me. And At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened; On […]
