  2. Life will not be easy. Conflicts will occur. But God remains in power, and He rules over all.
  3. If you have ever felt like you are standing on the outside looking in, like you do not belong in a beautiful church with its beautiful people, then listen to Jesus, because Jesus has a word for you.
