Message for August 14, 2022 from Pastor Shirley

THE TRIUMPH OF GOD’S LOVE

  So what are we going to say about these things?  If God is for us, who is against us?  He didn’t spare his own Son but gave him up for us all.  Won’t he also freely give us all things with him?   Who will bring a charge against God’s elect people?  It is God who acquits them.  Who is going to convict them? It is Christ Jesus who died, even more, who was raised, and who also is at God’s right side. It is Christ Jesus who also pleads our case for us.  Who shall ever separate us from Christ’s love?  Shall suffering and affliction and tribulation?  Or calamity and distress?  Or persecution or hunger or destitution or peril or sword?  Even as it is written, For Thy sake we are put to death all the day long; we are regarded and counted as sheep for the slaughter.  Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.  For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things ]impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers,  Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.   Romans 8:31-39
