1.  We are steadied by grace

2.  We are sanctified by birth

3.  We are strengthened by faith

Exodus 16:4-8, 11, 16-21

Manna means "what is it?" and represents the Word of God & the Incarnate Word (Christ)

1.  It is evident that Jesus is who He is. The evidence is sure. 

2.  It is experiences of who He is - memories are built on how God has delivered.

3.  It is edible - appropriating the Word of God.

4.  It is enough - we'll look back and through all our ups and downs we'll realize we had enough.

Everything depends on me; I depend on God.

Awaken to the need to fight for God. Fight for what is right.

Wake up to the necessary fight, the conflict between two natures.

General George Patton ordered the Third Army chaplain Msgr. James H. O'Neill to write a prayer in early December 1944, as rains were bogging down the Army's progress. Patton ordered it sent to every soldier under his command right before the Germans launched the Battle of the Bulge. The following is that prayer:

"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen"

1.  Christ is actually all - Christ is real

2.  Christ is all in all

3.  Christ meets all our needs

1.  He is God

2.  He is our God

3.  He is our Redeemer

1.  Fill it up with failures

2.  Fill it up with fear

3.  Fill it up with faith

Because Christ rose:

     - we can be sure our sins are forgiven

     - it makes us immortal

     - we have an advocate in Heaven

     - we have the power of Christ to live in the Resurrection

     - we have assurance of a new body

     - Jesus is coming back!

1.  It cost Jesus His glory.

2.  It cost grace for Jesus Christ to go to the cross.

3.  Jesus Christ suffered on the cross for us.
