This morning we reflect on Jesus’ death and resurrection and see the union we have as believers in Christ allowing us to freedom from sin and victory over death in this new life.

Christian living is sometimes a fuzzy idea that isn’t as clear as we would like, often it seems like an out of focus photograph. As we draw 1 Thessalonians to a close, we look at Paul’s final section of exhortations to proper Christian living, we see three quick snapshots that help us see in focus.

Paul follows the discussion of the rapture with reminding the Thessalonians that they need live as believers expecting Jesus’ return.

This morning we look at a familiar passage of hope and comfort and the next major event for the church universal, Christ’s return and the calling of the church to heaven and home.

A look at the sixth I Am saying from John’s Gospel this morning as we see not only Jesus’ declaration of deity, but also a promise of comfort for the believer.

Continuing our study of 1 Thessalonians, we begin chapter 4 this week. Chapters 4 and 5 is where Paul addresses areas this young church needed to grow in their faith, in their love, in their personal holiness. These are some of the things that he commented on "lacking in their faith" in 3:10.

As we continue working through 1 Thessalonians, we look into chapter 3 as we look and see the need to grow and stand in our faith.

As we continue to study 1 Thessalonians, we look at how Paul’s ministry with the Thessalonians is a pattern for how every Christian should minister.

This morning as we close the book of Philemon, we look at how an important important doctrine plays an underlying part of Paul’s letter and the Christian life.

We look at the main part of Paul’s letter to his friend Philemon. We see here in Philemon that this letter is where Paul’s theology from his letters is seen lived out in his own life and relationships.

This week we return to our Communion Series on the 7 I Am sayings found in the Gospel of John. We look the 3rd I Am saying, “I Am the door” in the context of Jesus teaching of His being the Good Shepherd that cares for, protects, and secures His sheep.

As we finish, Jude, we look at his benediction and the doxology that reminds us of our salvation and our savior.

This week we look at Jude’s final exhortation to his readers, prescribing immunity and aid amidst the pandemic of apostasy.

We continue to look at Jude’s warnings of the nature of the false teachers, but it also causes the believer to give themselves a heart check.

Jude encourages his readers a through a series of examples of God’s judgment on those that would rebel blindly and blatantly against Him.

This week we start the epistle of Jude. We look at Jude reminding his readers of the truth of salvation, the importance of doctrine, and warning them about false teachers getting in the church. But how does this little book in the New Testament affect us?

This week we look at the 2nd of the Seven Great I Am statements in the Gospel of John. Jesus is again offering salvation to those who place their faith in him as he warns those who would reject him.

Missionary Jim Leonard brings the message to encourage and challenge us.

As we close Habakkuk this week we look at the prophet’s psalm that was his prayer for the Lord to act as we had in the past but also to shore mercy the children of Israel.

This week we look at the Lord’s response to Habakkuk’s second questioning, his complaint of what the Lord was planning on doing. Here the Lord speaks Five Woes against Babylon and reminds the prophet of His grace, glory and sovereignty.
