Oftentimes people believe that they need to clean up their lives before even attempting to follow a religious belief. Unfortunately, many religions put the burden back on the individual to do more, try harder, be better! And although as Christians, we are absolutely responsible for our own sin, and we are definitely supposed to strive for Christ-likeness, we are just as certain that it is not our job, nor can we, save ourselves.

Oftentimes people believe that they need to clean up their lives before even attempting to follow a religious belief. Unfortunately, many religions put the burden back on the individual to do more, try harder, be better! And although as Christians, we are absolutely responsible for our own sin, and we are definitely supposed to strive for Christ-likeness, we are just as certain that it is not our job, nor can we, save ourselves. And just as no amount of works will save us, no amount of sin can disqualify us from the salvation offered through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
This truth is no better illustrated than through the selection, by Jesus Himself, of His inner circle - those men that we would later know as the Apostles. These were not at all what the religious leaders of the day, or the common person of the day, would think of as even being worthy to be near the Messiah, let alone His most trusted companions on this earth. Join Pastor Jason as he shows us who these Apostles were, who we are, and who Jesus is.
