Having received foretastes of the blessings that will be ours in Christ, our sojourn is characterized by joyful anticipation.

The seed of Abraham must sojourn as a stranger in the land in order to receive what was promised to him by God.

We must resist the seduction of the sinful city of man that leads to judgment, and place our hope on the promised city of God which is built on Christ and lasts forever.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is absolutely central in the Christian’s life from the moment he’s born again until the moment he enters the presence of the Lord; it is as vital to our spiritual life as the air we breathe.

The person and work of Jesus Christ is the message of the entire Bible; therefore Christians should read their Bibles thoughtfully and expectantly looking for him.

The Christian's 'merry Christmas' is joy-filled and festive because King Jesus is reigning and is giving the greatest gift of all, pardon from sin.

Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah in whom all the promises made to Abraham and David will be fulfilled.

God’s covenant to never again judge the world through a flood foreshadows the new covenant whereby he promises to remember our sins no more; therefore believers have no reason to fear.

To see the steadfast love of the Lord as he works in our lives: “Let them give thanks to the Lord for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works for the children of man.”

The death we’re saved from and the life we’re granted through union with Christ leads us to inexpressible thankfulness.
