    We can’t waste our time worrying about what people say about us who don’t know us, because scripture teaches it is because they don’t know Him! When we know that the Hope of Glory is Christ is us we behave differently.

    1 John 3:1-3 (NKJV) “This Hope” January 21, 2024 John begins passage with a question that we all must consider. What manner of love is this? Because Jesus said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends...” John tells us that We have heard this same message ...read more

    Ponder the various responses of the people who came to know of the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus.
