This is Lesson 10 of Salvation, Sanctification, Glorification. A 12 week class studying God's incredible plan of salvation; past, present and future! In this lesson, we move to the final aspect of salvation, namely Glorification. We see how the idea of a "resurrection" in described in the Old and New Testaments. That Christ, who is called the 'firstfruits' of the resurrection of the righteous, implies that there will more that are resurrected! Namely, believers! God actually promises many times that one day, we will not only put of the tent of our current body, but will be clothed in a glorified body just like Christ's.

This is Lesson 9 of Salvation, Sanctification, Glorification. A 12 week class studying God's incredible plan of salvation; past, present and future! In this lesson, we continue our study of Sanctification. We take a more detailed look at Romans 6, focusing on the triad 'know', 'reckon', 'yield'. We also look at Paul's struggle in Romans 7, which I call the 'do do' chapter, taking a closer look at weather Paul is referring to his current struggle as a Christian or prior to being saved. We then take a detailed look at Law versus Grace, showing that the Christian is no longer under the law, but under grace!

Groveland Summer Church is a gathering of neighbors, family and friends for fellowship, worship and song on the shores of Lake Minnetonka, Minnesota. Groveland has a rich history going back to 1902 when the property served as a Christian summer camp. By the 1940's, the cottages started to turn into permanent residences. Today, there are 42 homes in the association. They still hold "summer church" in original barn on the property. This is Jeff Verdoorn's fifth year speaking at Groveland Summer church. His talk this year was on the seven statements by Jesus on the cross, with special focus on the statement, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" Did God abandoned (forsake) Jesus on the cross? Is Jesus lamenting God's abandonment on the cross? Or is He really proclaiming God's faithfulness? This is a message on God's faithfulness and the promise to every Christian that God will "never leave you or forsake you".
