    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>God’s grace allows us the opportunity to hear the gospel and believe the gospel. God’s grace gives us time to accept Jesus and live for him, even while people reject Jesus, doing their own thing, every second they live they are given grace because they have breath in their lungs and have the capability to accept Jesus and the sacrifice he made on the cross for our sins. But someday, that grace is going to turn into vengeance when Jesus returns. All of those who rejected Jesus will separated from God for eternity, never having another opportunity to repent of their sins and be washed in the blood of Jesus. Don’t let God’s grace run out on you. Accept Jesus today so you will be with the redeemed in heaven for eternity!

  <description>The enemy has many tools in his arsenal to keep us from serving God and three of the greatest are: Fear, discouragement, and rejection. Nobody likes to be rejected but what we learn in Mark 6 is even Jesus was rejected! He was rejected by the religious leaders, he was rejected by his own disciples at times, and he was rejected by his friends and family in his hometown. Two things we need to be aware of: 1) Be careful who you let speak into your life because not everybody shares your vision...2) Don't let other people shape your identity because in Nazareth, Jesus wan't known as God's Son, he was known as Mary's son who is just a carpenter!

  <description>Paul mentions something at the end of chapter 8 and also in Ephesians that so many have misunderstood and that is the doctrine of Predestination. Many believe that it doesn’t matter how we live our lives because God has already decided who is getting into Heaven and we have no say in it. Is this true? Do we not have a choice in the matter? If you put what Paul says in context, along with other scriptures, including some that Paul wrote himself, predestination will make sense. Yes, it is true that only certain ones are getting into Heaven, but the good news is, the invitation is sent out to everybody. We all have a choice to make: either to accept Jesus as our lord and Savior, or reject him.
