A series of Bible messages that addresses the problems that seem to be steadily growing worse every day, both in our country and in the world. We are living in the mist of a global pandemic (Coronavirus) that has adversely affected so many people in so many ways. We are living in a time of great social and political unrest which has divided people in so many ways and resulted in a growing animosity between them. The greatest problem in the world is a spiritual problem, and the greatest need in our world is love. Not the type of love that the unbelieving world usually talks about, but the kind of love that comes from God, the kind of love described by the Greek word “agape” in the New Testament Scriptures. In this series, we explore the meaning and the characteristics of agape love and how it can impact our world for good.
These Bible messages were preached in 2020 (in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the social unrest over racial issues) by Pastor Gregg Bing during the morning worship service at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Draw Near to God - 2
The Lord Jesus Christ, by His death on the cross for our sins, has opened up a new and living way for sinners to have access to God. In Hebrews 10:22, the Jews are exhorted to "draw near to God." While this has special meaning to them, we can apply this principle in the present age of grace. The unsaved are exhorted to draw near and enter into a relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ; this is our positional relationship. Believers who may have drifted away from God in their daily walk are exhorted to draw near to God in regard to their practical relationship with God. This morning, we will look at the second application of this exhortation and show why it serves as a spiritual resolution we can make for this coming year.
Scripture References: Hebrews 10:22
From Series: "Spiritual Resolutions"
As we begin a new year in 2023, we examine some spiritual resolutions from Hebrews 10:19-25 that believers should make to help draw them closer to God in their daily walk and service for Him.
