We’ll be talking about envisioning Jesus as he is today, in his glory and power. This vision provides comfort and helps us endure whatever tribulation will come our way this year, for the glorified Jesus “walks among the lamp stands”; in other words, he is with us and never leaves us. My prayer is that a renewed vision of Jesus in a new year will encourage and inspire us to Kingdom living. Speaker: Rev Marcos Ortega

We're reminded that God's plans are higher than ours. Speaker: Pastor Sam Sutter

THE FOUR MOVEMENTS OF JESUS REST* Resisting Work “On the Sabbath day we deliberately remember that we have ceased trying to be God and instead have put our lives back into his control. Concentrating on God’s Lordship in our lives enables us to return to his sovereign hands all the things that are beyond our control and terrifying us. Once those things are safely there, and as long as we don’t stupidly take them back again, our emotions can find truly comforting and healing rest.” Marva D...

Article 21: The Atonement We believe that Jesus Christ is a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek—made such by an oath— and that he presented himself in our name before his Father, to appease his Father’s wrath with full satisfaction by offering himself on the tree of the cross and pouring out his precious blood for the cleansing of our sins, as the prophets had predicted. For it is written that “the punishment that made us whole” was placed on the Son of God and that “by ...
