Saving Grace

(Guest: Jeremy Vance) Many people hesitate to listen to the gospel because they think Christianity is all about rules and religion. In an effort to clearly communicate that the gospel is all about God’s love, Pastor Jeremy Vance wrote a book entitled “John, Jesus and Me.” We talk to him about how this book provides a fresh look on the gospel of John as a love letter from God to us, and how we can personally experience God’s love, a love that cannot be earned and cannot be lost.

(Guest: Mark Rae) We have become so familiar with the beauty of the Christmas story.  But perhaps we have failed to make a personal connection with the people in the biblical narrative who were awaiting the arrival of the Messiah, and those of us who, today, look forward to Christ’s return.  To kick off this 5-part Advent series, The Right Time, Rev. Mark Rae will re-introduce Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Why was she favored, and how did she respond to the news Gabriel delivered?
