Sunday's Message

The title for this Sunday's message is "A Just, Punishing, and Marvelous God!"  The message will be developed out of those three words (or derivatives of) from 2 Thess 1.  Many people do not like to think of God as "punishing," but that is exactly what 2 thess. 1:8 says..."He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus."  And the reason that He will "punish" the unbeliever is because He is a "just" God... a God of "justice." 

In all of our understanding of God as a God of grace and mercy, we forget (or choose to ignore) that He is also a God of justice.  I hope to see you Sunday as we explore this biblical assertion about God.
