How do you feel about the outlook for the coming year? I've heard a lot of people who are bracing themselves for bad news. And there are certainly plenty of negative events and trends that we could get caught up in and overwhelmed by. So what should we do and how should we feel?
Jesus actually addressed the last days in chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew. It's not a rosy picture, but there's some important things to consider. That's what Don Wallis will be helping us to focus on this coming Sunday, January 24th. No matter what may be coming, we can have confidence that Jesus is still in control and he loves us!
