Sowing the Good Seed

Praise the Lord, it is good be here with you all again. I am so thankful the Lord has blessed us with this place for us to have services. I know its more convenient for all of us, and in a good proximity for everyone. I thank God for it. I have been talking to a lot of the brothers in the other churches over the past couple weeks, and they all send their greetings and love. They are really encouraged that we have been able to move our fellowship to this new space. I just want to thank you all too, for all your help in getting things together here. 

The Second Coming of Jesus Christ

Few topics excite followers of Christ like the topic of his second coming. Throughout his ministry Jesus had told his disciples he was going to leave them and return again.

The promise of Christ’s return to earth is repeated many times in scripture. On the day Christ ascended to heaven, two angels appeared to the disciples and explained that Christ would return just the same way in which he left: through a cloud of glory in the sky. Jesus also described different signs that would precede his coming to his disciples.

Redemption

Everyone loves a story of redemption: a story where the characters are swallowed up in events and circumstances that look hopeless; but then, almost miraculously, their direction is changed. Rags become riches, sorrow becomes joy, and their time of hardship and suffering is transformed into the phrase “and they lived happily ever after.”  A story of redemption is a story with a happy ending.

The Law of Liberty

Writing a letter to the believers, the Apostle James spoke of a perfect law of liberty, a freedom we have been called to and given by Jesus Christ. Liberty, or freedom, is a topic frequently spoken of by Jesus and his apostles in the New Testament. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, the law of ordinances was also nailed to the cross with him. Jesus thus fulfilled the law of the Old Testament, setting us free from the requirement to keep it. When Jesus Christ died on the cross, the law of ordinances was also nailed to the cross with him. (Colossians 2:14) Jesus thus fulfilled the law of the Old Testament, setting us free from the requirement to keep it. (Romans 8:3-4, Galatians 3:24-25)
