Our Real ID series continues as Dan Waugh speaks on the Beauty of Holiness. The caricatures of holiness that masquerade as the real thing make it hard for us to conceive of holiness as beautiful, but through the Word we can see how essential and attractive holiness is.
Lord, Have Mercy — Bob Whitaker (1 Nov 2015)

It’s a Matter of the Heart — Bob Whitaker (25 Oct 2015)
From Mark 10:17-31. When the rich young man encountered Jesus he asked a sincere question from the heart. Jesus gave him an honest answer. Certainly this is a story about the power of wealth, but there is much more to this encounter with Jesus. It’s not really about money; it’s about the heart.

A Sinner’s Faith — Dan Waugh (11 Oct 2015)
From Luke 7:36-50. Jesus’ openness to sinners has always made the self-righteous cringe. At the same time, it moves sinners to faith, opens the door to forgiveness, and engenders beautifully extravagant acts of love and devotion. Come see what God has for us in the heart-stirring gospel story.
A Borrowed Faith — Bob Whitaker (5 Oct 2015)
From Mark 2:1-12. This paralyzed man was brought to Jesus and as such was completely dependent on the persistent faith of his friends. They loved their friend, they believed in Jesus, and the paralyzed man was the beneficiary of their faith. It is often true that we serve as the “faith link” between others and Jesus.
