Faith

Allen Daniels read from Hebrews chapter 11 and spoke about Faith.

Hebrews 12:1-2  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

The Things that Work Together for Good

Allen Daniels read from the last half of Romans chapter 8 and spoke about the Things that Work Together for Good and that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Referenced Scriptures: [Rom 7:24, Rom 6:23, Psalm 51]

Rom 8:28-31  And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
