In Jesus, we receive God's grace, experience His presence, and release His kingdom. Jesus restores our identity, reconciles our relationship, and redeems our purpose. This is the gospel of the kingdom of God, and it all starts with grace. In this message, Pastor John Stickl teaches us that, through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, we are now dead to sin and alive to grace. Sin no longer has the highest influence over our lives! So, how do you know if you're growing in grace? Identity determines behavior. When we believe we are beloved sons and daughters, we will live free in the Father's kingdom. When God tells you who you are, no one (not even yourself) can tell you who you're not. God has given us the ability and the right to destroy the works of the devil, and we need His grace for supernatural empowerment to live differently. We are as close to God as we want to be! This is the Gospel of the Kingdom!
