Holiness in humans is single-hearted devotion to God through our faith in Christ Jesus as Lord. This definition reflects Jesus’ identification of the greatest of all the commandments:
The most important commandment is this: ‘The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’ The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ No other commandment is greater than these (Mark 12:29-31, NLT)

Aug 23, 2015Living God’s Adventure for YouSeries: Today's Message From God's Word
The theme of our VBS this summer was “Learning to Live God’s Adventure” using the metaphor of an Amusement Park.
Does your life and religion reflect “Adventure” or “Control”? Does your faith in God lead you to control through rules and doing business right, or is it an adventure? An “ADVENTURE” is defined as a risky undertaking and a remarkable, exciting experience.
Pastor Grosvenor looks at the worldview of an adventurous man of God, King David, using David's Psalm 23 as text for today's message.
