The Holy Spirit is often ignored, or misunderstood, in Christian circles today. Without His help, however, we can never pursue holiness in a manner that brings honor and glory to God. And yet, that is our purpose and calling to do so during our life on earth. So who is the Holy Spirit? Why is He called Holy? What role does He have in the Trinity and in our lives today? Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace, will address these very important questions as we continue our series, Life of Glory.
God commands us in 1 Peter 1:16, “Be holy, because I am holy.” If we are to reflect God’s glory, we must conform to His character, which is holy. How is it possible for us, in our weakness, to be holy?
The return of Jesus Christ is a sure thing and that certainty gives us an opportunity of a lifetime. He will come first for His church, and return with His church to set up His earthly kingdom. In light of Christ’s imminent return, how do we prepare? How do we make our life now count for eternity?
Much is said about the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But the story is not complete without talking about the ascension of Christ. Where did He go? Is He coming back? If so, how should that knowledge affect my daily life now?
What was it like to be among the first who encountered the risen Christ? Our guest Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace School of Theology, will take us back to the Scripture to consider, not only the excitement and joy, but also the fear and doubt from those first encounters.
The celebration of Christ’s resurrection is our hope for eternity with Him. But before celebration are the reality and the pain of the cross. Today, Mark Rae, Vice President of Community Development at Grace School of Theology will take you there, to see who else was at the cross, and why.
