This breakout session from the book of Romans was created on a Sunday where Evident Grace couldn’t meet because of snow. It is a 25-minute message discussing the wrath of God. Paul in Romans 1 goes from loving the Gospel and saying he’s not ashamed of it to saying, “And the wrath of God is poured out…” For us to apply those verses well, I put together a message to help us understand the various views that people have about the wrath of God as well as looking at verses that will inform us about what God says. Of course, it will all end with helping us understand how Jesus meets the wrath of God on our behalf. It will answer questions like: What are the various views of the wrath of God? What is the Biblical view? What does Jesus say ab

Check out the latest episode of the “This is Gonna Hurt” podcast.   In this Free Friday episode, Gordon shares with you about one of his heroes: Jason Becker. Jason is an American born guitar player who leapt on the neo-classical guitar scene at the age of 16. He played with the band, Cacophony, with co-virtuoso, Marty Friedman. Becker’s solo album, “Perpetual Burn”, stands the test of time as a statement of his ability and his genius.  As Cacophony broke up, he joined the David Lee Roth band, replacing Steve Vai. Sadly, soon after, he was diagnosed with ALS and lost the ability to speak, walk, and play guitar. Since then, he has learned to speak and write music with technology that follows the movement of his eyes.  This month, he released an album 20 years in the making entitled, “Triumphant Hearts”. You can find links this album and his Amazon catalogue below.  Artist Page: https://www.amazon.com/Jason-Becker/e/B000AQ0IHY/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1545603159&sr=8-1-spons New Album
