Do you ever get discouraged? Depressed? How about when it comes to Christianity, church, and the world? Begin to prepare for tomorrow’s message by reading Matthew 16.
Can you think of any more positive message than no matter how bad it may get, Satan loses – we win! I know that it’s sometimes hard to remember that simple fact when we get caught up in the difficulties of life on a day-to-day basis, but that is the truth that is our light at the end of the tunnel. What a comforting thought to know that it is a forgone conclusion that our story has a happy – perfect – ending! (Out of all of the different identities of Jesus, which one is your favorite? Lord? Savior? Friend?)
