We must respond to anti-Christian accusations against us with a respectful, positive, and well-reasoned defense, doing all we can to represent Christ in a dignified manner.

We can expect in our day all sorts of opposition for being faithful to Christ and biblical truth, but we must remember our calling and courageously endure whatever comes our way.

We’d all prefer to call the shots and be in charge of our own lives, but the resurrected Christ is King of all, including your life and mine.

Good Friday Service

Even in our fallen messed-up world we must recognize and respond to God’s sovereign use of governments to accomplish his will for his people.

Though God’s plans for our lives will involve some fearful circumstances, we must be unafraid and resolute about fulfilling God’s calling on our lives as we hold on to his promises.

The Christian hope is to be firmly fixed on our participation in Christ’s coming kingdom, which provides us the strength and courage to face all the current challenges in the here and now.

God is at work on us, using a variety of means to bring us into increasing holiness in the Christian life.

God has planned and is always at work in and for his children to move them across the finish line of the Christian life and into the promised kingdom.

We must consider how God has been at work from long before we can imagine, leading us into the path he would have us obediently walk.
