Really guess I need to change my proile pic...I have had this hoody for a while now.  My boys are growing so fast on me!  Kieran is still recovering well from his brain surgery, I am closer to graduation!  Bless God for that...Ready to help pull the weight around here, Susan has been doing it for son long!  Please pray for us, as this is a difficult time!  By the way I will have a bachelors in Religous Education with a Minor in history.  I really want to be able to teach Religous History (particularly Christian denominations) and eventually be able to teach some apologetics...

I will soon be serving in an interim pastorate for a couple of months, prayerfully it may be longer than that.  My first Sunday in that official capacity (I have preached a couple of times there already) will be Resurrection Day.  My sermon will be on Sin, SUBSTITUTION, and Salvation.  There seems to be a prevailing misconception of exactly what took place on the Cross at Calvary.  Just exactly what took place when Jesus cried "Eloi, Eloi, Lema Sabachtani"  My God, My God why hast thou forsaken me? 

The substition of Jesus, or HIS taking on the Wrath of God, in our place is a forgetten and neglected TRUTH.  So many people relegate our Lord's death to a simple divien "example" for us to follow, but it runs so much deeper.  In short my sermon will consist of #1 God's holiness demands justice and that Justice was meted out on His Son Jesus Christ and salvation is found solely in HIM, through our union with HIM, by Grace alone, through Faith alone.
