Golden Valley Christian Church
Julian the Apostate, nephew of Constantine the Great, was Roman emperor for two years. He was taught by a Christian, and he was a Christian. However, he turned against Christianity and is best known for attempting to restore paganism in Rome, at the expense of Christians. Julian was wounded in battle and died at the age of thirty-two. The Bible tells us the Israelites turned from the true God, and were forced into captivity. It can be easy to place other interests ahead of our true God, but in the end, there will always be a consequence for this action.
Saturday, March 28th, will be a workday at Golden Valley Christian Church. Preparations are still underway for Easter. Ladies Bible study is at 7 PM, Wednesdays, at the church.
Last Sunday, our focus in "The Story" shifted from the Old Testament to the New Testament, and the birth of our Lord Jesus. The crucifixion, with the promise of eternal life, could not have taken place without the birth of Jesus. Bro. Tim pointed out that Mary and Joseph were ordinary people, and Jesus came to Earth as a baby. As man, He experienced life to understand how ordinary people experience life. People in the Apostle John's era questioned who Jesus was. People in our era have the same questions. The answer is: Jesus came as a baby, fully God and fully man, and by accepting Him, we may have eternal life.
The Bible challenge question is: "What was the name of the high priest at Jesus' bogus trial?'" (Matthew 26:57)
