We have what the world needs. And that's the true knowledge of God. There is the knowledge that God exists. But what so many ask is what is God like? "So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: 'Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: 'To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.'" Acts 17:16, 22-24

We as believers in Jesus Christ actually know Him. It's our greatest asset as Christians. We see this in this New Covenant in which live. "... And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest. ..." Hebrews 8:10-12

Welcome to a very special Memorial Day broadcast as we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and the families they've left behind. We know what the Bible has to say about this: "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command."

• There are two sacraments we celebrate as the church. Those are baptism and the Lord's Supper. The first thing we realize is that both of these start with the memory of sacrifice - Jesus' death on the cross. It's a time of celebration because of the freedom found through His sacrifice. It is a joyous occasion to remember all that Christ's death accomplished for us. God remembers our sins no more. We have been set free from the law of sin and death. Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we have been made holy. We have been set apart for God's use. Apart from Jesus' sacrifice that would not be possible.
• Today, as you remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, think about what Jesus has done for you by His death.
• All of us look for a sense of purpose. What is our purpose in life? It is to be used by God. That's what it means to be made holy - to be set apart by God for His use. Jesus made that possible. There is nothing more worthwhile than to make ourselves a "living sacrifice" for God's work.
• Philippians 2:12, 13 "Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose."

This series looks at the eight essential truths every Christian should know. If you're not solid and secure in these 8 truths, your life will be one of struggle. These foundational truths are often missing in today's Christian landscape leaving believers confused and frustrated. When we understand and embrace these bedrock truths, Christianity makes sense and we see the practical implications in our day to day living. It changes us from the inside out. Today we look at Jesus. Who is He?

We often think of grace as just the beginning of our journey with Christ but really it is grace at the beginning, the middle, and the end. And at the end we will stand as trophies of grace. 2 Corinthians 4:6 is a beautiful verse. "For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ." When people glimpse the glory of God in us, it encourages them to come to Christ. We call those glory moments.
