God is wrathful, sovereign, just, and merciful.
Never underestimate the power of sin, our ability to rationalize sin, or the consequences of sin. But never underestimate God’s grace.
God takes the initiative in providing what we need. We simply respond.
Desperate is normal. We can turn to God in our desperation, and we can find hope — resurrection hope — even as we face the worst.
We need godly leaders, especially one who will rescue us from our enemies.
