House Of Cards | Righteousness Is Relational
May 22, 2023 21:21 - 44 minutes - 36.7 MBIn week 4 of our series House Of Cards, we hear from Pastor Trip about another characteristic of the Christian faith. We look at the idea of righteousness and that the world is looking at us as Christians and the way we carry ourselves.

In today's message, Pastor Leroy challenges you to think about such things. We pray this message reminds you of the authority and power of God's word.

Essentially the title of the message gives away the main point. We are a work in progress to look more and more like Jesus, also know as sanctification. Each day we are being transformed into the image of Jesus Christ. It happens by surrending ourselves and our will to the Father and allowing him to transform us to be more like his son. We ho...

April 16, 2023 14:16 - 41 minutes - 35.1 MBThis week we continue our annual "I Believe" series. We are still in the book of Romans and Pastor Trip is helping us understand what Grace actually accomplishes. We are redeemed and sin no longer has control over us.
