Life can seem daunting and intimidating with many strange twists. Yet, the Lord is faithful. He keeps His promises. Now in Acts we enter into Paul's life filled with many enemies and strange twists. But, we will see Christ's sovereignty and faithfulness in the midst of it all. This will be an encouragement for all of us!

God is Holy. Then He says... "Be holy for I am Holy". What does that mean for us? What is holiness?
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- Why does God want us to be holy?
- What does it mean to be holy?
- How do we become holy?
- Why is this NOT earning our salvation?
- Do we find holiness desireable?

We will more deeply appreciate our salvation when we understand why Jesus is called our propitiation. These important words shed a world of light on how good God has been in providing such a rich salvation.
Sermon discussion questions for parents to use with their children:
- What does propitiation mean?
- Why can God not just forgive us of our sin... why did Jesus have to die?
- How is Jesus our propitiation?
- What are the implications for us when we sin that Jesus is our propitiation?
- Why is it important that God sent the propitiation and how does this make the God of the Bible so different than the old Greek gods?

John 3:16
Romans 5:5-11,8:31-32
1 John 3:16,4:7-11
The heart of God is the original seat or subject of love. Divine love is in Him, not as in a subject that receives it from another, but as in its original seat, where it is of itself. Love is in God, as light is in the sun, which does not shine by a reflected light, as the moon and planets do, but by its own light, and as the great fountain of light. And from God, love flows out toward all the inhabitants of heaven. It flows out, in the first place, necessarily and infinitely, toward his only-begotten Son; being poured forth, without mixture, as to an object that is infinite, and so fully adequate to all the fullness of a love that is infinite. And this infinite love is infinitely exercised toward Him. Not only does the fountain send forth streams to this object, but the very fountain itself wholly and altogether goes out toward Him. And the Son of God is not only the infinite object of love, but He is also an infinite subject of it. He is not only the Beloved of the Father, but He infinitely loves Him. The infinite essential love of God, is, as it were, an infinite and eternal, mutual, holy, energy between the Father and the Son: a pure and holy act, whereby the Deity becomes, as it were, one infinite and unchangeable emotion of love proceeding from both the Father and the Son. This divine love has its seat in the Deity, as it is exercised within the Deity, or in God toward Himself.
Jonathon Edwards
God cannot, cannot, cannot resist the cry of the blood of Christ. Abel’s blood demanded vengeance and it had it. Christ’s blood demands pardons and it shall have them, must have them – our God cannot be deaf to the cry of His Son’s own blood.
