2025 The Cross (Victory in Christ): Pastor Michael Paderes

When the Bible speaks of the new beginning God has in store for all believers one day, we can be assured that it is rooted in God’s love and compassion.

What we’re experiencing today as a result of His death and resurrection are only glimpses of what is to come when He returns.

As we serve Christ by serving the Church in any way we can, we have a great reward to look forward to.

Commendation rather than condemnation is for those who embrace the gospel and put their faith in Jesus.

In Jesus, we receive freedom from the penalty of sin.

Our ultimate hope is not in our record but in our Redeemer.

There is always something we can hold to. Our hope is secure in Jesus Christ.

The end times is the culmination of all of human history and of Christ’s redemptive work. It is the ultimate victory of God’s plans and purposes, the victorious future every believer looks forward to.

Christ will come back unexpectedly so we must walk in the light and be ready until that day comes!

Let us worship God and calm our souls from the cares of this world as we wait and put our hope in Him.
