Foundations of Faith: Grow in Grace and Truth: Final
Charles Studd wrote, “Only one life, it will soon be passed. Only what's done for Christ will last.” According to 2 Peter 3, the day is coming when worldly elements will dissolve in the consuming fire of Christ’s holy presence, and our Lord will establish a new heaven and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.With such a future ahead of us, how do we steadily cling to our Savior, working for an eternal kingdom? All around us are systems of thought that elevate self and the indulgence of the senses. Without care, we can easily drift from the purpose to whi...

Living by Faith: Satisfaction
This podcast excerpt features Rich Powell, pastor of Grace Bible Church, discussing Psalm 37:16-20 within his "living by faith" sermon series. Rich emphasizes that true satisfaction stems not from earthly possessions but from a relationship with Christ. Pastor highlights three key aspects: God's unwavering support of the righteous, God's providential care over believers' lives, and the eternal inheritance awaiting believers. He connects these concepts to New Testament teachings, asserting that a believers' value and worth are found in Christ, not worldly measures. Finally, he encourages listeners to find satisfaction in God's approval rather than societal standards.

It is Finished: God's Will, Part 3
The Old Testament sacrificial system was a picture, a shadow of the One who would truly atone for our sins. Jesus came to do what the sacrifice of bulls and goats could never accomplish. On the cross, He fulfills the Father’s will, offering His body as the only true sacrifice that could, according to Hebrews 10, take away sins and make perfect those who draw near. Today, Pastor Rich talks about the heart of grace God has for us, the powerful work of Jesus, and what it means that we who are in Christ are made perfect.
