One of the most encouraging events to come is the return of Christ. This is only encouraging for the believer, however, because for those in their sins, it will be a Day of judgment.

A message to our church by Dave Wade

Is God's grace enough for you in your trials? For Paul, grace became something more than just what God gives to save us. It is what He gives to sustain us.

*I am indebted to Heath Lambert for this outline

Because we belong to Christ, we are to "dress" ourselves in heavenly garments. The actions and attitudes of a changed life.

The Christian life is not primarily God building you up, it is Him breaking you down. Tearing down what remains of the old self. We are commanded to die to sin.

Our hope is to be in Christ because he is the ruler of all.

Since Marijuana was legalized in California (and other states), is it then lawful for Christians to recreationally partake of this drug? Is it the same as wine?

The Bible tells us to make every effort to add to our faith. Are you looking to make this year more spiritually profitable than last year? Are you planning for these things?

This is the sermon I preached last year at this time. The good news for Christians is that we are justified. Once you understand what this means, your life will be transformed!

Salvation is not a cleaning up of your life to be a more moral person, it is life from the dead. Jesus makes dead people alive, today!
