Names matter. One of the names of God in Isaiah 9:6 is Wonderful Counselor. The Wonderful Counselor is approachable, reliable, and available. His provisions are endless, His perspective is eternal, and His presence is everywhere. That's good news in troubling times.

The Lord gave two ordinances to the Church. Baptism is the first act of obedience after trusting Jesus as Savior, a public identification of belonging to Jesus, and a public declaration of who Jesus is. The Lord's Supper is a body of believers who commune together with the shared confession that Jesus is Lord.

Who has the Son? Those who place their hope for heaven entirely on Jesus and those who live with a new nature have the Son. If we have the Son, eternal life is promised, prayer is powerful, victory over sin is possible, and Christ is the priority.

What do you testify to, and what is the testimony about you? Your testimony: I believe; I've been born; I love; I obey; and I'm overcoming. Jesus' testimony: the water, the blood, the Spirit, and the life.

How does God's love for you make a difference in you and through you? There is joy in your heart. There is a declaration of who Jesus is. There is a lack of fear and a love for others. Real love initiates, sacrifices, and endures.

We have an enemy, and he has a strategy. But we can trust in God's Word, God's Spirit, and God's people to triumph over him.

How do we make our love for God known? These are the signs. Supernatural love connects and cares for God's family, expects and endures difficulty, makes generosity a habit, puts words into actions, trusts in God, and prays boldly.

What are three life-changing truths we need to know to prepare for Christ’s guaranteed return? Jesus will return. Not everything about heaven is known. And everyone is a child of someone.

We never have as much time as we want, do we? The enemy is already here, but the Spirit of God is all-powerful. The eternal is promised ... and can be enjoyed by all.
