2025 THEME: GRACE EVERYDAY
God is in control! There is hope for the believer. God has a future planned for everyone, but if you reject God and reject Jesus Christ there is no hope for you. God has a plan for every person on earth. But only those who believe in Jesus Christ understand their purpose.
When you believe, your hope will not be cut off. We have a hope, and our hope has a name. It is Jesus! Our God has no limits on His power. He has the ability to exceed our expectations in the future.
