Today we look at a discipleship lifestyle that centers around the acronym RIO. Rio is the Spanish word for river. Have you ever tried to go white water rafting upstream? We both know it is hard enough to stay in the boat and make it through the rapids of life while going downstream. We will…
This week we are wrapping up our series on the finished work of Jesus titled, “It is Finished.” We have taken time to realize that many of us who know we were saved by grace through faith are living in ways that show we still depend on the law to justify us in more ways…
This week we take a look at the concept of worthiness. Are we worthy? If so, how? We have been looking at Jesus’s statement, “It is finished.” He fulfilled all the righteous requirements of the law. Right now, in our lives, what does that look like for you and me? We were saved by grace…
