The Good Life will cost you.  But then again, something is going to cost you.  It was Stephen Covey who wrote: "I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions." In 1962, a quartet of scruffy young musicians when to Decca records to see if they were interested in recording and distributing them.  "No," they replied, unimpressed with the lads from Liverpool: "Guitar bands had had their day and that isn't going to change anytime soon.  Then there's the name: they can't even spell the word ‘beetle’."  EMI would later form a powerful and financially bountiful relationship with Paul, John, George and Ringo. Decca lost out to EMI not because of circumstances, but because of their decisions.   It's the same for disciples: there is a cost involved - but there's a purpose to the price, an eye toward a prize.  Wise is the one who desires The Good Life and pays the price to enter into it!

"Living the Good Life in the World" is not a travelogue going around the world to 5-Star resorts, eating at 3-star Michelin restaurants.  No, it has a lot more to do with who is in the mirror and what we think, do, and say.  Doesn't sound exotic, does it?  But it's more powerful than you realize! In this podcast, Rick and Sean discuss his latest message in his latest series about the implications of living the good life where God reveals what's most important.

When you hear the phrase, "The Good Life," what comes to mind?  Riches and retirement? Beaches or mountains?  Fame and fortune?  What if the good life had nothing to do what what you had, but the consequences of who you knew? Rick started a brand-new series and he talked with Sean about the implications of living the good life where God makes the definitions.

She has been called "the apostle to the Apostles" ("apostle" literally means "sent one") because she announced the Resurrected Jesus to the Twelve.  Not only was she "just a mere woman", but she had the nasty reputation of being (formerly!) demon-possessed ... but she's mentioned 13 times in Bible, and was so faithful and devoted to Jesus, she risked life and limb to simply be near him - even more so than the Twelve. In this week's podcast, Rick and Sean have a discussion on this amazing woman - and how she still teaches us to be more faithful in our walk with Christ.

“There is a theory" quipped Douglas Adams, the science fiction author of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.”  Adams' satire, aside, it may seem like the search for significance in one's life is a lot like chasing after a ping pong ball with oven mits on.  But Jesus never put it that way.  Jesus had the rare ability to state definitively what the purpose of life was and how to go about it.  He said so himself: "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock."  Simply audacious statement, don't you think?  Unless you happened to be the Son of God who raised from the dead.  Then, it's just simply true.   Wrapping up his thoughts on Raising the Bar, Rick and Sean discuss the final message he gave on March 28.  Make sure you check the link below to watch it. If you're catching this after April 4th, we pray you had a wonderful day of wonder and worship, as you ponder the enormity and consequence of the Resurrection of Jesus, the only begotten Son of God.

"The proof is in the pudding..." have you hard that? Actually, that's not quite right: The actual phrase is: "The proof of the pudding is in the eating."  In other words, just having the right ingredients, delicious picture on the box, and a famous spokesman doesn't mean it's good.  Do people buy and and consume it?  Well, when it comes to The Bride of Christ, and what our Lord commands, the proof is when people see us "eating" what we say we consume.  Are we?  Are YOU?  In this fun conversation where the tables are turned, Rick interviews Sean about his recent message out of Colossians 3:15-17.  Come on: you know what to do with these: Listen to Rick's message, HERE: https://youtu.be/zZlZsi7ezg4 Find out more about Rick's next series, Raising the Bar, HERE: https://www.roswellgrace.com/raising-the-bar-2020 Find out about Easter Baptisms, HERE: https://www.roswellgrace.com/why-baptism Discover everything else about Grace Community Church, HERE: https://www.roswellgrace.com/

“Clothes make the man,"  wrote Twain. "Naked people have little or no influence on society.”  Obviously written in the absurd to elicit a chuckle, there's truth to it, both metaphorically and literally.  How one "dresses" oneself, says a lot about their inward character - how they see themselves and how they want to be seen. In this podcast, Sean discusses with Rick about his latest message in the series "Raising the Bar", and this week's focus on how we must raise the bar of serving others by raising the bar of the reckoning of our raiment.
