On Sunday Shannon continued the message of grace and what it actually means for our relationship with sin. One of the big questions Paul asks in Romans 6 is this: if grace is truly free, then does it matter how we live?

And Paul’s answer is clear. By no means.

Grace is not permission to stay stuck. Grace changes who we are.

We are no longer under law, but under grace—but what does that actually mean for our daily walk with God?

In this message, Shannon explores the journey many Christian's experience where we are first born again, we experience a "wonderful freedom" a lightness where the weight of sin, shame, and guilt is suddenly lifted. But for many of us, that freedom is quickly replaced by modern Christian checklists. We start loading up on religious expectations. How much we pray, how we serve, and how we give. Until that initial freedom turns into a heavy burden of performance.

You are hidden in Christ and clothed in His righteousness. On your worst day, you cannot diminish the Father's love for you, and on your best day, you cannot add to it. Grace is a gift to be received, again and again.

Jesus doesn't invite us into a system or a methodology; He invites us into a relationship.

In this message, Stuart illustrates the radical difference between a servant and a son. Whether it’s the story of Zacchaeus or the calling of the first disciples, we see a consistent pattern: Jesus initiates, He accepts us exactly as we are, and that acceptance becomes the engine for true transformation.

Stop trying to qualify yourself and start living from a place of belonging. The invitation is open: Come, follow Me.
