There are certain things that I've never understood

about college sports. Universities spend big dollars to bring in a

winning coach. That coach, of course, wants a contract, because he

wants the security of knowing he'll be paid for years to come. If,

before the end of his contract, the University wants to get rid of

the coach, it is forced, by terms of the contract, to pay out the

remainder of that coach's salary. But generally speaking if a coach

decides that he wants to leave for a better job, he isn't held to

the terms of his contract. Most universities just let the coach

walk away. Did you know that God had a contract with His people?

He's promised to bless and care for them. In turn, they promised to

follow Him, obey Him, and walk in obedience to His commands. Now

God always fulfills His promises. But what happens when His people

do not hold true to their part of the contract? Sunday, we are

going to find out together. And we are going to find out how the

resurrection of Jesus enables us to walk whole and uprightly in our

covenant relationship with God. I can't wait to see you on Sunday!
