Psalm 36:1-12 There is the world's way and there is God's way. Choose the right way; which is God's way. God is without character flaws. He is absolute truth, provides purpose and hope, is merciful, wise, and the light. Stay close to him!

The consummate cry of victory for the Christian is "life is hard, but God is good." It is told through the rough and tumble of our lives. No one is immune to pain and suffering in this life. And it is God's desire that his people declare his goodness through the good and bad times. If you are a follower of Christ, a Christian, what is your cry of victory? What is your victory story? Come with the Grace United crew as we hear Paul's victory story and reflect on our own and how to tell it better, for indeed, "life IS hard, but God IS good."

What comes to mind when we think of Christmas in 21st century America? Santa. The manger. Baby Jesus. Mary. Joseph. The wise men. Angels. Shepherds. Etc. But we know that the Christmas story was not "made in America." The setting was about 2,000 years ago in Israel. Roman occupied territory. Israel was looking for "Christmas": God's gift to set them free from Roman oppression. A Messiah. What does Scripture say about the Messiah? What exactly was his mission, both regarding Israel and the rest of the world? Come with the Grace United crew as we talk about God's gift embodied in Messiah.

The Apostle Paul considered his mission a matter of eternal life or eternal death. He was fearless in his proclamation of the gospel. Even the demons knew who Paul was. No wonder Paul was absolutely livid when it came to some false teachers who did their level best to lead the Corinthian Christians astray. How did Paul deal with them? And what about today? Where are the bold servants of God who will protect His people from false teachers? Come with the Grace United crew as we experience Paul attack the false teachers with devastaing force --to the glory of God.

Sacred space. This is how the Lord sees HIS land. We would call that land Israel. The Lord of heaven and earth tasked His people, Israel, to cleanse this land, taking it by force from a wicked people. As Christians, the Lord considers his church to be sacred space as well. The Lord Jesus commanded his people to be his witnesses in all the world. What is the greatest witness his people can give to the world? Come with the Grace United crew as we discover anew and afresh of the extent of God's blessings, both to Israel in ancient days and to his people in our day.
