Being a Chrstian is both easy and hard. Jesus lived a perfect life, died for all sin, and rose for us; there's nothing we need to do to earn heaven. That's the easy part. But loving God above everything can seem difficult. In this message, Pastor Mike teaches from the book of Hebrews to remind us of a very important truth: God will help us through the hard parts of being a Christian.

We are all seeking rest and relief in our fast paced society and hope for the uncertain days ahead. There's only one place to go to find what we seek and that is to Jesus. Kick off 2025 by seeking Jesus every day with a new Time of Grace daily devotional called Daily Promises. We invite you to look to God in the year ahead to meet your every need and give you strength.
