Here is the BIG question: "Is the death of Christ enough to save us?" We so often hear that all it takes is that Christ died for us and if we would trust Christ as Savior then eternal salvation is ours. But is it? What is it that REALLY saves us? Come with the Grace United crew as we answer the question--from Scripture: "Is the death of Christ enough to save us?"

What does it mean to live a life undistracted, uncluttered, lived only for and unto Jesus Christ? Go to the mountains of Montana and be a hermit to get away from people? What about marriage relationships or especially when a couple has become engaged to be married, how does one live an undistrated life to the Lord? If we knew the Lord was coming back tomorrow and you were engaged, would you go ahead and get married or break it off? So many questions. Such is the stuff of life as a Christian. How to live life with a single heart, though married, or tied up in an engaged relationship is what Paul deals with in this message. Join with the Grace United crew as we discover how to have a single heart for troubled times.

It was no different with Israel, as the Lord commanded his people to go to war. However Moses gave instructions about how soidiers were to ready themselves in preparation to fight against their enemy. What were those instructions? Is engaging in warfare proper for God's people today? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh of God's dealing with warfare, from the perspective of his holiness.

Four directions of how we are to spend our time while we wait for Jesus' return.

The Lord has given us information regarding the end of days for a purpose: that we might not be confused, and as a result, be deceived.
