Hold On and Consider
Jesus has opened the veil into the holy places thru His death on our behalf. He also cleansed our hearts and bodies so we are welcome in God's presence. He is the fulfillment of God's promises, giving us hope. In light of this we are able to consider how to encourage one another as the New Covenant community

Missional
God's promise to make Abraham great was not only for Abraham's sake, but for the sake of the world-that the world might be blessed through him. As the people of God, we have become part of God's promise. We must be looking for the ways that God might bless the world around us and through us.

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 Nature of Faith (Romans 4:13-25)
Paul references the promises of God to Abraham, the ultimate fulfillment of which is the restoration of fellowship with God and the establishment of God's kingdom in the new heavens and new earth. Abraham and his descendants will be heirs of the world. Paul clearly demonstrates that it was not obedience that secured this promise to Abraham, but Abraham's faith in God and God's grace toward Abraham. Works and reward are utterly opposed to faith and promises. Just as with Abraham, we do not inherit God's promises by obedience or lineage, but we inherit God's promises by faith in God. We too will experience restoration of fellowship with God, and will participate in his eternal kingdom!

A Time for Every Matter
When it comes to the events and experiences of our existence, randomness does not rule. God does. He is the Sovereign over our seasons. The Teacher reminds us of this fact in Ecclesiastes 3, and the Cross reminds us that God's ordering is for the good of those who believe.
