HELL

Jesus has conquered hell.  He is the victor and the fight has been won.  Today we are participants in the last throes of the dying kingdom of the evil one and he will do anything to hurt us.  Jesus is Lord and He will protect us.  Jesus is Lord and we belong to Him.

HARD

Real life is hard.  It is hard every day.  Everyone has a hard time.  Turn to Jesus.  He will stand with you through the hard times and take you home to our ABBA-God when you pass from this life.  Jesus is Lord.  The Holy Spirit fills us with the power of the Triune God.  We have everything we need for life and life eternal in Jesus Christ.
