The personal sacrifice of Jesus Christ, and the personal sacrifice of others, calls us to a higher level of living. John15:13, Matthew 28:18-20, Col. 1:10-13

Psalm 103:1-3, Acts 2  The Christian life has tremendous benefits.  We have the promise of forgiveness, power and purpose.

Matthew 28: 1-20  When the world around us feels dark and broken, Jesus reminds us that He is present.  He is powerful and has a worthy purpose for our life.

God cares for you because He paid for your life.

Jesus is present and powerful when we face those times where we have no strength to keep going.  Mark 6:45-54

When poor choices and evil forces seek to isolate, and move us away from purpose, Jesus can give us a fresh start and a new direction to follow.  In Mark 5:1-20 Jesus restores a broken man back to his family and community and also gives him a new vision for life.
