    Satan tries to drive a wedge between Jesus and his Father. “If you are the Son of God,” Satan begins two his temptations.

    A sermon for a NEW YEAR, based on a striking text from Dt. 29:29. As we enter a new year, we cannot know the SECRET (unknown) THINGS that the year will bring, but God has REVEALED to us his commandments, his priorities, and how to enter into a relationship with him through Jesus Christ.

    THE SECRET THINGS AND THE REVEALED THINGS—Dt. 29:29 If you could know the future, would you do things differently? ***I was playing basketball with my brother, and I noticed an older guy who seemed to play every day.
