Want to take a moment and wish everyone a happy New Year

We had a great Christmas program yesterday and a missionary during the pm service! Was a great Sunday.

Luke 17
We start off with a bang here. Jesus flat out tells us trials are going to come! They are unavoidable. We must deal with them the right way though and there is a danger for the one who causes them. We also see and learn of forgiveness and service here in the very start of the chapter. We go on to see it was faith again that made the leper whole. We can also not be looking for spiritual things or the spiritual kingdom in the physical world! One of the most important verses is vs 23. This verse Jesus gives warning to avoid and ignore those who say they know when the end is coming. Don't give them any thoughts and avoid them. These people have NO knowledge of what is going to happen and when it is going to happen. Jesus compares the end times to like those of Noah and Lot and how things where going on like normal and then bam in an instant things changed. That's how it will be. There will be no knowledge of dates of when things are going to happen. That is why we are always to be ready!
