There's power, and then there's POWER



We are still experiencing pretty gusty winds of I'd guess 50 mph, but it's nothing like it was last night, when the power of Hurricane Ivan came and took our electricity but left our house.



I've seen tropical storms before, but a hurricane - that's a whole different kind of power.



With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ's being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud. 2 A new power is in operation. The Spirit of life in Christ, like a strong wind, has magnificently cleared the air, freeing you from a fated lifetime of brutal tyranny at the hands of sin and death.

Romans 8:1-2 (MSG)



There's power than can kill the body, but no power that can touch the soul of one who has given their life to Jesus Christ.



Look to that power as you deal with the storms of life.







Grace!
