Vic Connell, from Romans 8:18-39. Brother Vic Connell likens the Christian life to joining the army of the Lord. We are not in control of where we are stationed or what our assignment is – sometimes our Commander leads us into suffering. But the gospel of Jesus gives us great hope as we serve the Lord!

The Sting of Death
Cary Cox, from 2 Samuel 1:17-27. David’s song of lamentation for the deaths of Saul and Jonathan teaches us about the reality of grief in this broken world. Jonathan’s loyal friendship is celebrated. And the story anticipates the Son of David, Jesus Christ, who conquered death and the grave for all his people! Grief and sorrow are not ultimate or final in the kingdom of God!
A Future Glory to be Expected
Cary Cox, from 1 John 2:28-3:3. We who are genuine believers in Christ are the children of God! We not only show this family resemblance in the way we live now, but John the apostle teaches us here that there is a future aspect of our adoption: Jesus will return visibly, and we will be like him when we see him as he is! We will be transformed in glory!
