1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

"Dear Father, May our faith serve to call them to wait for your Son from heaven, whom you raised from the dead, Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath..."

What's in style in your neck of the woods? Have we lost our focus by getting so upset over so many things that don't really matter?

Save your fork ... the best is yet to come! As Christians, we have hope because of what we are waiting, or more importantly, whom we are waiting for.

"Dear Child of the Father, While Paul was in Corinth, he waited anxiously to hear how the new believers in Thessalonica were doing. The Thessalonians...."

So what does repentance mean, anyway? Repentance is more than feeling sorry about sin. It's a change, a change of mind that brings about a change in life.

Do you really believe in the God of power? Bill Sherrill reminds that if we don't believe in the God of power today, it will be hard for those who don't believe in God to listen to us talk about the great deeds of God from long ago.

God has given us a way to experience the saving work Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection. Phil Ware continues his series on "What is CORE" by talking about baptism and why it is important.
