God has an amazing love for everyone that He created and He longs for everyone of us to experience His love. This is a message preached by Rollie Snider (part of the Grace family). The Bible has a lot to say about God's love for us! 

This message is preached by Frank Glaspey, a part of the Grace family. Jesus instructed us to occupy until He comes. What does it mean to occupy? Many of us have reduced this to a passive thing. It is not! We are to live from the victory of the cross and release that victory around us. There are many ways that we can fulfill Jesus' instruction to occupy until He comes. Frank shares a number of ways that we can do that. 

There is an attitude that will get God's immediate attention. It is an attitude or perspective that grants you access to the resources of the Kingdom of God. Matthew 5:3 says "Blessed are the poor is spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven". Blessed is the person who recognizes their spiritual poverty (their need for God). That person has God's ear. This message is about the danger of pride and the benefit of humility. 

One of the greatest things that we can possess is God's purpose for our lives. We may have many different purposes in our lives, but God's (our Creator) purpose for our lives is what empowers us to live a godly life. Without a (progressive) vision, the people are unrestrained (Proverbs 29:18). Withoug God's vision for our life, we do our own thing. We live self-focused life. This message is about the importance of God's vision for our lives. 

One of the reasons we must spend time in God's word daily is so that we can have His perspective. Luke 15 gives us God's perspective about lost people. God loves lost people and longs to see them saved (part of His family). It's important that we see lost people like God does. 

Sometimes, the meaning of words can change over time. Do we really understand what the word "GRACE" in the Bible means? This message re-examines Grace to seek to understand what the Holy Spirit meant when the word "Grace" is found in the Scriptures. 

The gospels are filled with stories about people who encountered Jesus and their lives were changed. The Samaritan woman is one of those people. Jesus is still transforming lives today through His encounters. 

This is the last in the series, "Lift Up Your Eyes". We are encouraged in the Scriptures to lift up our eyes to see what God wants to show us (Genesis 13:14). Sometimes we just need to stop looking at everything around us and look up to see what God wants to reveal to us. What are you looking at?
