Far too often those in political leadership rule unlawfully (and occasionally even are illegitimately placed in authority), which causes us to ask, "What should we do with this passage and God's command to obey them?"

Gabe McGinness, one of our young leaders, brings a message on "Obedience" from James 2:14-26, a section of Scripture that reminds us that though we are saved "Sola Fide" (by faith alone in the Cross), faith that is truly alive is evidenced by Spirit-filled and inspired works that bring Glory to God and His Love to others.

Pastor Bryan continues in our Romans series (Chapter 10) with a message titled "Lost and Found."

In this short passage the Apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that, once we have entrusted our lives to Christ, NOTHING can or will come between us and the eternal life we have been given. May God use this message to encourage us- literally pour courage into us- to live our lives with incredible freedom and boldness for Him!

This week's passage in Romans 8:18-30 is titled "Suffering and Glory" and gives us incredible information for the purposes of hope (based on solid faith), context for understanding suffering, and even instruction for how to begin to experience glory now even before the final and full coming of Jesus Christ.
