The gospel is always better news than you think. The gospel is God’s power to save, restore, encourage, and shape us. This weekday podcast features messages from Ricky Alcantar at Cross of Grace Church in El Paso, TX.
The Happiest Book in the Bible - Grace & Peace, Part 2
What an amazing and life-changing declaration, “Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the foremost”. This concept is at the very core of what we believe as Christians. We have to acknowledge our inherent sinfulness in order to realize our need for Christ. As Pastor Ricky leads us through today's message, we can take great encouragement and knowing that despite the great debt of sin, in an overwhelming act of grace, Jesus Christ died for us.

The Happiest Book in the Bible - Grace & Peace, Part 1
There are many in our world that have been deceived into thinking that they are inherently good. As we start to dig into the book of Philippians with Pastor Ricky, our eyes will be open to our true state of sinfulness. When we take an honest look at our lives, the outward actions, as well as the inward thoughts and feelings, we’ll start to realize that we're desperately in need of grace. We deserve death but the good news is that grace and redemption are available because of Jesus’ death and resurrection.

The Book of Acts - The Power and Person of Jesus, Part 2
Pastor Ricky will be giving a warning today that it's not enough to just understand the power of Jesus but that you need to be committed to Jesus. You can't rely on the faith of others. You need to be born again yourself. When your motive for coming to church or saying prayers is just for the benefits of God's power and blessings instead of just wanting to intimately know the Lord, you're in danger. The Lord knows when you're being sincere in your worship to Him or if you just want His blessings.
