We all follow hyper-specific personal rules that reveal our true values. However, we often resist God’s rules because living by a code requires difficult effort. In this message from Deuteronomy 12, we explore how biblical boundaries protect the good life God wants for you. When you inevitably fail, Jesus offers radical forgiveness instead of shame. Receive His empowering grace today and start building a life that boldly says God matters!
