Current Series: Stories that Change Everything

A good story captures our attention and draws us in, and Jesus was a master storyteller. In fact, his stories are still pointing us to deep truths about God, his Kingdom, and his love for us. These are the stories that change everything.

The most dangerous thing you could ever be is a good person.

“I’m not religious but I’m a good person.”
“I’m not perfect but at least I’m not that bad.”

Every other way of living is a merit system.

We are saved by grace through faith.

Ephesians 2:3-5

Ephesians 2:8-10

Christianity is not a merit system.

The lost think they’re good. The saved know they’re not.

O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.
