ABOUT THIS EPISODE
This week as we commemorate the Reformation we explore one of its core concepts "We are saved by grace through faith." We are not saved by the good works we do, we aren't trying to win our salvation, that prize has already been won by Christ. When the prize is already won we can turn our attention to our neighbors needs and using our good works to support them and help them find belonging.

In our Focus Text the Psalm writer shares a command from God to: “Be Still and Know that I am God.” If we can learn to apprec…
For many amateur gardeners and arborists pruning can be stressful. What if I cut off the wrong branch or cut off too many flowers? We can encounter the same stress when we look to ‘prune’ our lives back. What if cut off the wrong person or stop doing the wrong thing? In our Focus Text Jesus reminds…
