How do Christians think about unity and reconciliation and re-adjust our focus to Christ?
In the old testament, God promised to save Israel “Then you will know that I am the Lord your God” – do you know this Lord who redeems us?
The Faith of Noah
Stand firm in the faith
Hear the command “go” and the promise “I will be with you.” The old testament story is the same today!
“Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead” – What does it mean to be committed to God’s Future?
The psalmist encourages people as they worship in the temple.
They are in God’s presence and are encouraged to be exuberant in their praise and thanksgiving. Likewise for us, thankfulness puts life into perspective.

“Come and See” – such wonderful words to gather us in to get a closer look at Jesus.
