While millions of people today are fixated on a 60 minute football game known as the Super Bowl, we will look at the promise of Jesus that will extend for all eternity, the super life.

God, who is the originator, giver, and sustainer of all life, continues to give life through Christ, whose followers pass on life to others.

Deserving of wrath, God in His kindness and mercy, instead raises us up with Christ to do the good works for which we were created to do.

The miracle of the resurrection of Jesus can be our miracle as well, as it is the desire of God to take people who are spiritually dead and make them alive in Christ!

The four seasons of life begin with sin, followed by salvation, then sanctification, culminating in strengthening grace which enables us to grow into spiritual maturity.

From a season of sin, to a season of salvation, the grace of God wants now to usher in a season of sanctification that enables us to reflect Christ.

It truly is amazing how God brings us out of our season of despair, hopelessness, and sin into a season of salvation as He saves us by His grace!
