someone who has not paid a bill; a
mechanic does not properly repair
your car, a landlord wants to evict a
teaser who has not paid the rent; and
a penon loans property to another
person who refuses to return it.
Criminal cases, including traffic

Many people's lives have been

forgotten victims of the midwest

has yet to return to "normal". We get
so much news today that it is bard to

our five minute news-bytes we tend to
only hear the most current and
devastating stories. There isn't time
to hear about, let alone care about, all

As we listen to the news it can

Our lesaona have taken us from the
birth of Christ to the His death on the
cross and to the resurrection Now in
these series of lessons we will learn
what we have in Jesus, and how to
serve him to the beat of our ability by
the leadership of the Holy Spint In
John 3:17-18 Jesus aaid that He did
not come to condemn the world, but
that the world through him might be
saved We were already condemned,
therefore, we needed saving from
condemnation In verses I and 2 the
writer states that we are no longer in
condemnation because we nave
believed oo the Son of Ood. When we
were lost, sin reigned in our flesh, and
we followed after the flesh and done
those things that were pleasing to the
flesh. We had no control in thai we
were under the law of sin and death.
Now that we are saved, we walk in the
Spirit and where the apirit of God is.
there is lift, la verse I we And two
laws: the law of the spirit and; the law
of ain and death. When the apirit of
God indwells us. we are free form the
