The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.

John 10:10
Abundant Life Bible Church
welcomes you!
As a church (children and adults), we increase our knowledge of Scripture and arm ourselves to fight temptation by participating in the Fighter Verses Scripture memory program (fighterverses.com). Verse to recite this week: 1 Peter 1:3-5 (week 1)
What is abundant life?
Jesus Christ came into the world to offer us abundant life (John 10:10). To those who accept
God’s free gift of salvation through faith, Jesus gives not only eternal life with Him in heaven, but also an abundant life here on earth. The abundant life consists of peace with God,
purpose in living, joy in the midst of life’s difficulties, and hope for the future. Abundant Life
Bible Church exists to tell people how they may experience this flourishing, abundant life
that Jesus provides.

On the Morning Of Christ's Nativity
That glorious Form, that Light unsufferable,
And that far-beaming blaze of Majesty,
Wherewith he wont at Heav'n's high
council-table,
To sit the midst of Trinal Unity,
He laid aside, and here with us to be,
Forsook the courts of everlasting day,
And chose with us a darksome house
of mortal clay.
By John Milton
