THE RELAY RACE
We are all in a race, but it's not a sprint; it's a marathon, and it's not a solo race; it's a relay race. And … it is an eternal race, as well. Our commitment is to run our race in such a manner that our Lord will be pleased as we hand the baton off to those around us, as well as to the following generations. We want your handoff to be a solid one, so join us as we take scripture passages or storylines from the Bible, and mine out all the pearls the Holy Spirit has for us, so that we bring Jesus into the details of our day to day lives.

As we dig through Romans 5:1-5, we begin to really realize how much we are loved by God and can stand fully confident that we belong, are fully justified, and loved by God.

Step out on a limb and join us in this episode of The Relay Race!
When God makes a promise to us, do we believe it and take it at His word? Most of the time, we take the steering wheel and force His promises to fit our circumstances.
