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!

In looking at how we should live as Christians we quickly see that Christianity is fundamentally different than all other religions and world views. God offers grace and a transformation that comes from within. The vital connection is the life-giving link with Christ.

We learn from the Old Testament that sin is erased through sacrifice and atonement. But the ritual must be repeated. Guilt is painful and crippling.... and in Christ alone can guilt be truly and completely taken away... literally taken away... permanently... and that is Good News!!!
Sermon discussion topics for parents to use with their children:
- Why did the people of the Old Testament place their hands on their sacrifices?
- What was the scapegoat, and what was its purpose?
- How does all of the Old Testament teaching on sacrifices help us better understand Jesus and what He did for us?
- How does He help us deal properly with guilt?
- What should be said to a person who says, "I know God has forgiven me, but I cannot forgive myself."?
