FACES: grace accepts them all

In part two we hear jokingly about “a face only a mother could love” or I’ve heard that a baby is “so ugly their cute”. The truth is that Grace Accepts Them All! This week’s talk is about how God’s Grace is inclusive, freely extended to everyone, but not at the cost of His character. Inclusion for God the Father meant Calvary for Jesus and a cross for each of us!

FACES of Grace in Forgiveness

What does “FACES” stand for? It’s an acronym. Forgive, Accept, Care, Encourage, Strengthen. Our study over the next few weeks will be looking at each word’s importance to the believer, to us a gathered group of insiders and for those not yet gathered in gospel. What is forgiveness? What is the cost of forgiveness and who pays for it? Who can access it? What happens if we don’t share it?

iAsked God

I asked God. Is that statement, an exclamation or a question you’re never quite sure when you’re speaking to a casual friend. Partly because there is an eternal perspective about our lives that is not clear in the moment. And truthfully, we may only finally see once we’re with Jesus and all things are brought from their temporary conclusion to their final outcome in Him.

Mindset: When Hope Shows It’s Face

The people in the scriptures and their stories are not exceptions but are examples for us to follow in like faith. I’ll tell you that although in life we usually do not get to choose which battles we will face, we always get to choose whether we will face them in faith or not. The difference is “…how you see because the unseen is what you’ve seen”.  What our world, our country, state, neighborhoods and families need right now more than…

MindSet: When Anger and Doubt are Right

Do you ever feel right when you’re angry that you’re truly right? Or do you feel embarrassed? Humiliated? How about when you doubt? Do you feel like you have a bonafide reason to doubt? Or do you feel guilty? Ashamed? You see how you see, because of how you feel after you see what you’ve seen. So how does the Gospel tell a better story? Catch us here on Youtube!

MindSet: When Hills and Valleys are Nets

In part two of our MindSet series, the repeated highs and lows that make up your life’s story are what God wants to use for His glory, your best and the saving of others. Maybe you feel that all is chaotic when you look at the total ups and downs in the present, but God is building a net of visual hope for those around you.

#ForTheMonValley Pt 4

People mainly only care about what impacts them personally. But people will change what they do when they learn why it matters. The story of the Gospel is personal. Why does this message matter so much today? It is impossible to refute that one of the deepest revelations of God’s character is in the weakness, suffering, and death found on the cross. If you wonder what God’s heart is like see the crucifixion!

#ForTheMonValley – Critics

We all struggle with being critical and being criticized. Yet there can be good from it. Proverbs‬ ‭25:12‬ ‭(NLT‬‬) reminds us that  “To one who listens, valid criticism is like a gold earring or other gold jewelry.” It’s beautiful when God adds to us through another’s care. Even though there is good criticism, there is also that which has as it’s design to confuse, entrap or entangle us. This week Mark shares with us that it’s about laying down your life…
