What is Discipleship? (It’s NOT What You Think It Is)
The Talmud has a very special “blessing” in it: “May you be covered in the dust of your rabbi, and may you drink deeply from their words.” A disciple sought to follow and observe their rabbi so closely that they would become covered in the dust the rabbi kicked up as he walked down the road. And this was considered the highest of honors. This is what discipleship meant in Jesus’ day. I’ll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

You Are Saved By Grace Through Faith, BUT…
Ephesians 2:8-9 are two of the most beautiful verses in the entire Bible: “For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. It is not from works, so that no one can boast.” The problem is, most of us stop there and ignore why we’ve been saved by grace. It’s so that we can do good works. It’s critically important to the mission of Jesus on Earth. And I’ll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.

Law VS Grace: Could You Be Any More Wrong?
Raise your hand if you've heard this "Law VS Grace" thing before: God gave the Law to show us the difference between right and wrong. If anyone was able to perfectly obey it, they would never die or be punished by God. The bad news is that none of us can even come close to keeping the Law, and that means we're all going to Hell. But the good news is that Jesus DID perfectly keep every part of the Law. And because He was perfect and we aren't, He died for us so we don't have to. Now, we don't have to keep the Law anymore because we couldn't really do it in the first place. And that's called "grace." The problem with all of this is that Jesus said the exact opposite, and I'll prove it to you in less than 10 minutes.
