Bottom line: The Hope of Christmas is the sinner’s hope of rescue from sin and its penalty. 

Bottom line: Communion is the expression of our appreciation for God’s work and blessings of salvation. 

Bottom Line:  All those who choose to look away from the pool and look to Jesus instead, will

  be saved from the pool. 

Do you know your role? Family works best when we fulfill the role God designed us for.

Bottom line: You’re not ready for your last day until you trust in the Living God and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Bottom line: When we act presumptuously either through self will or demonic devices we provoke God. 

1 Kings 22:51-2 Kings 1:17

Bottom line: God seeks us out in mercy at rock bottom to recover and restore us to His use. 

Life is filled with Mountain Top and Rock Bottom experiences. God is with us in both. And He will use us and restore us and rejuvenated us if need be. Elijah needed Emotional ventilation, physical rejuvenation, and spiritual restoration. When we find ourselves discouraged and depressed, we will need the same too.

Bottom line: We claim the promise(s) of God in believing prayer. 

God is the promise keeper. Some promises are universal. Some are personal. Of those, some are unconditional and some are conditional. We claim the universal and conditional promises are of God in believing prayer. We learn from Elijah how to position ourselves alone in prayer, posture ourselves humbly in prayer, present our claim of the promise in prayer, petition God particularly in prayer, passionately plead in prayer, and persist in prayer.

South Union has told the world about a place (Bethlehem, Calvary, and Heaven), a person (Jesus Christ's virgin birth, victorious life, and vicarious death), a gospel to be preached, and a promise to be believed (Jesus' return, reward, and resting place).

Bottom line: If need be, get off the fence and serve the living God.
