Jesus does what he does for us. Arrived as King of Kings and ended suffering for us.

Hope is to believe that God will provide a positive ending to a difficult situation. In this sermon we explore how Hope grounds us, comforts us, and encourges us.

In Ezekiel, God restores the body, gives the body life through breath, and gives the body purpose and hope. God has the power to bring life from death, allows us to experience consequences, Does things in the correct order, reconciliations and restoration, and we always depend on God.

Pastor Beth continues her series about God's gifts with this look at the characteristics of Christian Community

Out of believing you worship, out of worship grows a relationship with God through devotion, prayer. Through a relationship, you build a trust & share that with others. Psalm 23.

Grace--gift 1)Why do we need grace? 2) How can we be sure God loves us?

Where is God in natural diaster? Need to look at who God is & what we do to respond. Remember that God is there to guide you.

God needs to shake us up a little. He invites us to the mountain top, we are to obey, & we are to stay to learn what we need to learn.

Trust in God, don't worry about the problems in our daily lives. The Gospel says if God worries about the birds and the flowers how much more does He worry about us. Live in the presence let the worries go, put them down.

We spend our lives growing and maturing. We grow in our relationships, reactions, responsibility, righteousness and reconcilliation. Our lives are a journey of growth day by day growing up into people God wants us to be.
