December 29th, 2024 | New Year, Same Gospel | Grace Valley Church, Dundas

Every year we make new years resolutions, and every year most of us are still the same disorganized, financially stressed, short tempered, distracted and generally sedentary people we were the year before. Why? Well, for starters, most of us have a desire to make ourselves better because we know we aren't quite right. There's something in us that's telling us to be something better than we are. The problem is, we're striving after the wrong thing. And not only that, all that striving will never truly make is as satisfied as we hope. Because those self improvements, while certainly good improvements, are completely focused on making ourselves perfect instead of resting in the righteousness that has been given to us by God's grace. Yes, tighten up your finances and your abs, but don't let that be your ultimate goal in life. Join us as Pastor Mark takes us through a short but powerful verse in Romans 1:16-17.
