Words to Live By Part 2 – Mercy
Romans 5:6-10 6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to…

Church-What am I Doing Here Part 2?
What am I doing here today? When you know why! Hebrews 13:15-16 15 Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that [a]give thanks to His name. 16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
Christ Gives Us Hope
We were without hope prior to the cross. Christ gives us hope to those who seek Him. Without Jesus there is no hope in Christ. Christ gives us hope. No one comes to God, except through Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
