WHERE WE'RE GOING AND WHERE WE'VE BEEN.
February / 16/  2017
Welcome to the 2nd half of your week
This week has been full of love and divisiveness; with valentines espousing true love abounding, all the while hatred spills into the streets. In the midst of all of it stands the church, a haven for those estranged from the world and a home for those who have opened the good news of jesus Christ:
        

Wednesday Night Insights
Last night we reviewed the nature of the Spiritual gifts; their Divine origin and their particular value to our church and the gospel at large.

LITTLE: Pages 107- 109: THE GRANDEUR OF THE GRACE OF GOD
When we CONSIDER  the eternal value of the narrative of grace that is the Gospel in Jesus we must marvel at the nature of our transformation: The phrase, from Colossians, " Christ in you, the hope of glory", takes on new meaning as we consider just how deeply our transformation lies.
  1. Paul says we have put on a new self: (Col. 3:9-10) What does that all mean?
  2. We live in the heavenlies with eternal life our new reality: (John 11: 25-26)

But what about life of one without Christ? Does that one simply cease to exist, or is there a future for that soul as well? 

Truth is.. we were made for rest in God, and we struggle in the absence of that rest. So said Augustine... So said Jesus.

See you manana.
