Once For All Time

Last week we looked at our "once upon a time" lives before becoming a follower of Jesus. This week our reading is from 1 Peter 3:13-22. Verse 18 reminds us that "Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God." How would your life change if you believed your sins were forgiven and, you truly trusted Jesus to "bring you safely home to God"?

For me, it has brought a security like no other. It reminds me that Jesus has this. He suffered, died and rose again. No matter how much I suffer, and even when I die, Jesus will bring me safely home to God. Therefore, what do I have to worry about? Do you have that kind of assurance? I hope so. If not, come and hear more about this on Sunday. Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly. He paid the price once for all time. And once for all people. That includes you!

Bring something to share for our pot-luck this Sunday. If you don't cook, pick-up something from the store to eat or drink. Let's fill the table and enjoy each other's contribution and company after church. And if you sing or play a musical instrument, join in Praise Team practice right after lunch. Make a joyful noise unto The Lord!
