Keeping Perspective in Suffering (Romans 5:3-5)
As Christians we are to rejoice in our trials and sufferings because 1) they are part of God's agenda for us, 2) God will use them to forge a Christian hope in us, and 3) God will use them to forge a certain hope in us. Though we are tempted to disorientation and despair during times of suffering and trial, we can surely trust in God's promises and love to sustain us through trials, and even to bring a Godly rejoicing and hope in the midst of them.

Getting People to Take Their Medicine
It has been said that the church is to be a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints. If the church is a hospital, what kind of medicine does it offer and how can it persuade patients to take it? Just as in every area of life, Jesus is our example here. He excelled in getting people to hear and accept what God had to say to them. He led many people to complete change and healing. What was his secret weapon? Key Verses: Lk 5:27-32, Matt 28:18, Lk 7:36-39, Matt 19:16-22, Eph 2:8-12, John 16:7-14, Lk 19:1ff, 1John 4:8

The Hope of the Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:58)
Our view of Christ's work and our work should reflect 1 Corinthians 15. The emphasis is on Christ's work: 1) Christ's resurrection motivates and empowers our work; 2) Christ's resurrection secures our resurrection; and 3) Christ's resurrection fuels hope for this life. Because of Christ's work, we can be steadfast, immovable, and abounding in the work the Lord has for us.

The Hope of Resurrection
Luke 20:27-40 As Luke comes to the end of his writing project, Jesus comes to the end of His life, and speaks of the end of the age. And it is as the "end" is beginning that we come to understand the vital place of hope in the life of those charged with extending the Kingdom authority of God through the gospel. For Christ-followers, "resurrection" is more than an event; it is the recognition that God wins in the end, and all creation is liberated from the chains and corruption of sin.

Fighting a Good Fight
To fight a good fight, we must commit to strict training. We receive our training from the very words of God. Those of us who are in physical training and spiritual training must keep ourselves pure. We will not be pure until we are mastered by Christ and no longer mastered by our sin. We must take every thought captive for Christ and turn from our sin.If you trust Christ, you will finish your race.

The Apostle Paul An Instrument in the will of God
In Human terms Saul did not look like someone God could use. He was persecuting Christians. He was an instrument that God could use. Once he met the risen lord he was never the same again. The same passion that had led him to persecute Christians, led him to lead others to Christ.

Prayer: What's the point?
Why do we pray? Have you been disappointed by unanswered prayer? Does prayer really make a difference in our lives? Does prayer change circumstances? How should we pray? These are honest questions concerning prayer that we must wrestle with if we are going to grow spiritually. What happens when we pray just might surprise you. There are several reasons Jesus modeled a consistent prayer life for us. In Matthew 6:5-15 Jesus addresses the heart of prayer: sincerity. He gives us a pattern of prayer: The Lords Prayer (vs.9-13). And He reminds us in verses 14-15 that forgiveness is key to prayer. What would your life look like if you began to earnestly seek God in prayer? What would our churches look like? If a law was passed forbidding you to pray would your daily routine look any different? Prayer makes a difference. Through prayer, real prayer, we allow God to change us. We become more like Jesus!

Living In Hope
Since Jesus did come the first time, he certainly will come a second time as he promised, so that he can resume a permanent personal relationship with you—in-person! Since he also claimed that he and the Father are one, his word is infallible and therefore reliable. The key is not when or how, but that he will return. Live each day looking up since he will return in the clouds just like he ascended to heaven in the clouds. Hold on to life loosely, have a positive attitude, live with confidence and purpose, and rise above the cares of this world.

Its Perfectly Ridiculous
Of all the holidays people celebrate, Easter must surely be one of the strangest. Consider what we are celebrating-a man being raised from the dead. Historically, this has been hard for many people to accept. But, the evidence is there. The power of God not only raised Jesus Christ from the dead, but by that same power has brought many others from death to life. Key Verses: 1Cor 15:1-8, Acts 17:23-34, Acts 26:6-24, Mat 27:62-66, John 11:17ff, Lk 17:11-17, Mk 5, 1Cor 3:4-7

The Amazing Jesus is Alive!
Our amazing Jesus reveals the authority of God. The soldiers were there to guard the dead man in the tomb who came back to life while the guards became like dead men. Jesus also offers the peace of God. The women were filled with peace and able to worship Jesus. And Jesus ushers in the promise of God. He promised victory over death and is preparing our eternal home.

The life of faith is compared to running a marathon. To continue to run we must get rid of all that hinders, sin that entangles and keep our eyes focused on Jesus. Jesus is our supreme example of what it means to live by faith, but also the One who ran the race to win the grace needed for us to run.

The Lords Supper Remembering the Lamb that was slain
The Lord's supper is the time that we set aside to remember what Christ has done for us. Do we really contemplate all that Jesus did for us? During communion time, do we make it about us or about Jesus? May each one of us take a step back and glorify God for what he has done for us in Christ.
