We see the works of God all around us in nature. But even His wonderful creation can't speak to us about the way to heaven. That way is found through faith in God's son, Jesus.

"...faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God"

Romans 10:17

The idea of personal sin and guilt before God has gone out of style in our day. Yet the Bible - and our own consciences - agree that we are not right with God becuase of our sin.

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God"

Romans 3:23

Jesus will come again, and we need to be prepared!

"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching"

Hebrews 10:25
