“If only I didn’t have so much responsibility, I’d finally be free.”
“Keep your options open—make sure you don’t miss out on a better opportunity.”

Those are the mantras of the age we live in. We have been duped into believing that freedom comes when we escape commitment and responsibility. But in this week’s episode of Inside Grace, we discover why responsibilities are privileges and why commitment leads to real freedom.

Pastor Alan’s wife talks about the “yes” house and how God is a “yes” God – God is the author of freedom, right? But a lot of people think the opposite. Devil lured Adam and Eve to take their eyes of the “yeses” and focus on the one “no” – so the essence of temptation is to think that any form of restraint limits freedom.

The journey to seeing myself with Jesus’ eyes require a new paradigm - a whole new way of welcoming the gifts of God into your life. You need to learn to receive from Jesus. You needed to learn to see yourself as someone Jesus yearned to bless.

Before we can give anything to others, we need to see how much Jesus yearns to give to us.

On this episode of Inside Grace with Alan Wright we examin why the word "Gospel" means “Good announcement” – because that’s what the Gospel is, an announcement of really wonderful news.

We will explore many of the ways that God transforms our lives, but here is the center, the hub that connects it all. The Gospel is good news and good news will change you. What would happen if people comprehended the beauty and magnitude of what God...

There is a way for every Christian to “pray in the Spirit” – praying God’s Word. Because all scripture is “God-breathed,” all of God’s Word is full of the Spirit. Thus, when you pray God’s Word, what you are praying is Spirit-filled.

According to surveys, there’s something that more Americans will do this week than will drive a car or go to work. It’s an activity that almost all Americans say they believe in and most claim it to be very important.

But, if so many people think that prayer is so important, why do so few people report feeling good about their prayer lives? Why does prayer seem to be a struggle? Why do so many feel their prayers are powerless?

There may be many risks not worth taking, but there’s one dare we all must take: love. In Acts 20, Paul says goodbye to the elders of the Ephesian church, where he had spent years. It’s a stirring scene of great pathos that reveals Paul’s true nature. The scene unveils the nature of Christian love—deep affection and enduing care. In the aftermath of a contentious election, many Christians are uncertain what to do. In today’s episod...

Pandemics and political elections prove that our joy is far too dependent upon our circumstances. In the wake of the presidential election, liberals are jubilant and conservatives and upset—but what is the right attitude of the Christian’s heart? Joy—always joy. If you’ve lost your joy because one of more of your candidates lost the election, remember the Apostle Paul. He lived under an emperor who claimed to be god, was surrounded...

As we approach an historic election, emotions (that have been frayed by pandemic and racial unrest) are running high. Christians and non-Christians have this in common as we near election day—anxiety and frustration.

What are we to with our frustrations and fears? How are we to interact with a culture that is unchurched and often antagonistic to Christianity?
