Eternal Victory
For the most part, the past decade has been quite good for followers of Bay Area professional sports teams. But as powerful and intoxicating as the joy of winning can be for many, it is a short-lived joy. We all quit celebrating at some point and go back to our lives, the victory parades come to an end, and the championship T-shirt eventually finds its way to the bottom of the drawer.
For joy to last, it must be rooted in something lasting. Something sturdy. Something that doesn’t evaporate in the face of defeat or hardship. Something eternal. For the Christ-follower, eternity not only reminds us that this world is not all there is, but it also assures and comforts us as we celebrate and place our hope in the truth that God will win - which means that, because of His grace, we will ultimately win - and that every dark thing will be defeated. Because of Him, eternal victory is certain.

This Week's Sermon: "Responding to Your Questions"
Everyone has questions, and this Sunday Pastors Dave, Steve, and Dan will be responding to ours. Sometimes the best learnings come from biblical answers to relevant questions. Much of Jesus' teaching was in response to people's questions. Questions like: What must I do to inherit eternal life? Who is my neighbor? Are you the King of the Jews? What will be the sign of your coming? After our summer-long Future Hope message series, you may already have a good answer to that last question. But if not, hopefully you will after this Sunday's special Q & A message.
