Pastor Ben continued his series on Religion vs. Relationship by emphasizing how God's grace and truth work together, as illustrated in Colossians 1. He highlighted that the transformative Good News leads to changed lives and encourages us to live in a way that honors God. Grace empowers us to break free from sin, while truth reminds us of our holy status before God. Pastor Ben warned against drifting from this assurance through neglect and small compromises, urging us to stay grounded in Scripture and connected to the church. He illustrated that our past, purchased by Jesus' blood, no longer belongs to us, as affirmed in Colossians 2:14–15. Ultimately, we are called to not only embrace grace but also share it with others, contributing to their growth in Christ. 10/12/2025 Vida Church
