The God who created the world also sustains the world. And because he is the sovereign Lord of nature, he can personally guarantee that no power in the natural world can overcome those who trust in him. He does this by promising that he will use his strength to give us strength if we wait for him – a promise that ultimately includes the final rescue of his people on the last day.

Readings and sermon were delivered by Pastor Aaron Mueller.
