Our podcasts are 5-8 minutes in length. We create these messages using one or two brief verses from the Bible that come from a devotional book. Our purpose is to help you hear the grace of Jesus in these verses so that your life may find its grounding in Christ alone. It is this grounding in grace that makes forgivin’ livin’ your way of freedom.

00(Sundaycast) Jesus Lead Us On (Psalm105:3; Romans 15:3)
Count Zinzendorf is the man behind the “Daily Texts.” He let go of his right to royalty to become a servant to immigrants who were seeking refuge on his land near Dresden, Germany. One reason for letting go of his rights is that he was close to the One who gave up all His rights for the likes of a sinner like him. As a boy, Jesus became his friend. He wrote, “For many years I associated with him [Jesus] in a childlike manner [and] conversed with him as friends for hours.” Later he made his confession in the words above his image, “I have one passion: it is Jesus, Jesus only.” Take some time today to learn more about his amazing man and his leadership among these refugees which created a missionary movement that was the greatest outreach since the New Testament church. One of his strong views that shaped the Herrnhut community of refugees was, “There can be no Christianity without community.” When these believers took the gospel around the world they were shaped by this spirit of caring for one another in the joy of Jesus. There are many online stories about Zinzendorf. You can learn about his role in the formation of the “Daily Texts” by using this link, www.GroundUpGrace.com/dailytexts/moravian. May his story help you consider what you can relinquish for the Kingdom to come where you live.
