Clothed with Identity (In Christ), Character, Love, Peace, Praise and the Word, and with Kingdom Purpose

In this message, Pastor Kris Vallotton shares a compelling message on our responsibility to live from eternity. The culture of Heaven is an eternal one. Making that reality possible here on the earth requires our intentionality and participation. Ecclesiastes 3:11 says, "He has put eternity into man's heart." Watch and receive an impartation of "eternity in your heart."

What should we do when we struggle with our assurance of salvation? In this episode of Light + Truth, John Piper turns to Ephesians 1:4 to address that common struggle.

To learn how amazing God's grace is towards us that the gratitude overflows into a desire to give God everything and honor Him however He wishes.

How can God's sovereignty and man's free-will be both true at the same time? If God foreknew us, chose us and predestined us to be His before the foundation of the world, what possible place can there be for our free-will in our salvation. Yet the Bible clearly speaks about our choice to believe (trust) in Christ, or reject (rebel against) Him. God holds us accountable for our choices and decisions, especially our response to Christ and His Gospel. If God is sovereign and if we are made in His image then surely our free-will (sovereignty over our life) is real, even though it is limited and not absolute like God's sovereign free will to do as He pleases. For many, the truths of Divine Sovereignty and human free-will are contradictory, but in this study Derek shows how both can be true at the same time, once God's Omniscience is fully understood. This is known as Molinism, which is a middle view between Calvinism and Arminianism, which full upholds Divine Sovereignty and at the same time fully affirms man's dignity as a moral agent, with freedom of choice (rather than a robot in disguise).

Where God's grace meets your need.

Valentine's day. I love you are the words that Jesus has spoken to us. He desires that we say that to one another. We should say them to Him. No one took the life of Jesus from Him, He chose to be sacrificed so that we can be saved. God will save us by grace by His son's blood. I love you is not the only set of three little words that we are looking at today. The second set is, "In the Beginning". GOd is the prehistoric one. He was around before the world existed. He did not come into being when the world did. He is the only one to have existed before recorded history. Third set of three little words, "Let there be." God's actions will never be in contrary of the word of God. If it doesn't line up with His word, then it's not His will. Be careful, and prayerful. Fourth set of three words, "It is written."

Have you ever felt left out? We often think of this as something we deal with in childhood. Unfortunately it is something that follows us into adulthood! Dive in with Erin as she shares moments of feeling left out and how God speaks to us about being chosen through His word.

Everyone remembers picking teams at the playground: team captains pick their players from a lineup of hopeful contenders. There’s a thrill of achievement to be one of the “chosen” ones! But being chosen means you have a purpose, a predetermined mission to fulfill. What’s God’s mission for you?

Before God created the world He loved us and chose us. Respond to His love by living all out for Him!

Speaker: Keath Gaitskell Text: Ephesians 1:4 Description: This message will explore the grace that is evident in God's choosing of us before the creation of the world.
