Well hopefully it is, and the weather doesn't play anymore tricks on us. But pretty soon the old cold and dreary weather will be behind us, snow will be a memory, and new life will start to form. The sunshine and warmth will give way to plants rising up from the ground. And it is then we will be reminded once again light gives way to beauty. Here at the First Christian Church we are in a sermon series on the Gospel of John. We are reminded time and time again that through Je- sus we have streams of liv- ing water. The Bible also says in these streams of liv- ing water, when we come in- to Christ, the old has passed away and the new has come (II Corinth. 5:17).

"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come" (II Corinthians 5:17). Because He lives. John Manges, Minister sus, the baggage, burdens and weight of winter can be gone, and the life and light of Christ and give way to new birth.

Rodney Fretwell, Sr. Pastor JESUS CHRIST OUR FIRM FOUNDATION 1415 N. Vincennes Ave. Petersburg 812-354-4424 or 812-582-0240 Sunday morning fellow- ship 10 a.m.; Church at 10 :30 a.m.; Bible studies: Tuesday night at 7:30 p.m. at Brian Eilert's house and Thursday night at 7:30 p.m. at church. In Matthew 22:12, a king asks his guest why he isn't dressed correctly, after all, they were provided by one of the king's own servants. The man had no reply because he knew there was no excuse. Romans 13:14 says, "But clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its improper de- sires." We have no excuse for the wrongs we do, because Je- sus provides all we need to keep from doing wrong. Remember you have a choice now for where you spend your eternity. Don't wait until it's too late. Be- lieve in His work on the cross and celebrate His res- urrection power in you today and every day.
