Holiness is not optional for the Christian life; it is essential, as Hebrews 12 reminds us that "without holiness, no one will see the Lord." This panel explores how the gospel both saves us by grace and calls us to a radical, Spirit-empowered pursuit of holiness that cuts out sin at its root. With insights from Kevin DeYoung, Rosaria Butterfield, and Garrett Kell, the discussion addresses how to live in the tension of being fully justified in Christ while striving for the holiness that reflects Him. Ultimately, it's a call to pursue a life of godliness with joy, knowing that Jesus is worth it.
This message from Luke 18 challenges us with the question: Is Jesus worth it? Through the story of the rich young ruler, we see how Jesus exposes our hearts, calling us to surrender everything for the treasure of knowing and following Him. The ruler's tragic decision to walk away reveals the grip of idols that blind us to Jesus' infinite worth. Will we trust Him, letting go of what the world offers, to embrace the life only He can give?

If I'm totally honest, the idea of talking to my kids about sex isn't the most appealing. But as a Christian parent, it is important that my kids are blessed with a biblical vision for sex and sexuality. If I neglect this responsibility it may be the case that their thinking is informed by the world.Today we are going to be talking with Garrett Kell, father of seven, pastor of Del Ray Baptist Church and author of the book Pure in Heart about how to talk to our kids about these sensitive subjects. We are going to talk through three general areas: how to first introduce the concept of human sexuality and baby making with elementary age kids, how to shepherd kids in purity as they reach puberty and how to help kids think biblically about the sexual confusion they might encounter among kids of their own ages. Below are some books for kids that Garrett recommends:God Made Me SeriesThe Story of MeThe Talk: 7 Lessons to Introduce Your Child to Biblical SexualityGood Pictures Bad Pictures: Porn-Proofing Today's Young Kids
