What is the basis of our faith, hope and love? Is it not the gospel of the Lord Jesus and the grace of God that brings eternal comfort? As we continue to prepare for the coming of the Lord Jesus at Christmas, this Sunday we look with eager hope and expectation toward the second coming. Jesus will return in power and will destroy those who set themselves against God and his kingdom. 2000 years later we continue to stand firm in the foundations of the gospel- grace, faith, hope and love!
