Greeting Second Baptist Family,
Weekly Pastor’s Notes
Thought for the week:
Peace is Yours Today – How would you describe your mental state right now? Do you feel close to God or distant from Him? There may be times when you wonder if you’ll ever be “good enough.” But God has reconciled everything to Himself. God is not distant from you. Jesus has come to dwell in you, and through the cross He demonstrated once and for all that He’s fully committed to making peace with you.
Any barriers between you and God have been removed (Hallelujah). There is no way to make yourself worthier of the cross. Reconciliation Has Been Accomplished.
(3 Minute Devotions – Barbour Books)
