Heavenly peace is the absence of conflict and the presence of reconciliation.

As like our relationship with our parents change over time, so does our relationship with Jesus. Jesus's roles in our lives are to be a faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. The essence of God and Jesus never changes because they are the Alpha and the Omega.

Special song message.

We draw lines because we are uncomfortable, insecure, and pride full. Doing that we miss out on God's call. Jesus wants us to draw arrows away from ourselves so we don't miss out on the call from God.

Jesus promises that he will be with us when we grieve. He brings comfort, compassion, healing, and hope to our grief.

No matter what is going on in our lives or in the world, God is at the center of our lives.

Sometimes it is a problem to wish to change your circumstances. It is ok to pray for desires, but there are pitfalls and consequences. 1) Dissatisfaction 2) Difficult to be grateful 3) Don't understand the implications. What we need to do is not focus on ourselves, but focus on Christ and others.

Jesus is now the great high priest that we go to for atonement, intersession and approaches God for us.

In Old Testament God spoke through the prophets. In New Testament God speaks through Jesus. Though cultures different, and the way of communication is different, God still speaks to us.

When you have problems, God will help out. He will put people in your lives to help you.
