God’s Wisdom seems counterintuitive… so how do we know if we’re on the path to wisdom?
Pastor Tim continues our exploration of the Fruit of the Spirit by considering “gentleness” in this week’s devotional.
We’re diving into biblical authority and what it means for our lives. We believe that the Bible is not just any book but the inspired Word of God, with absolute authority and without error. Join us as we explore why the Bible is unique and how it reveals Jesus, and discover how the Holy Spirit helps us understand its message.

“For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise; he is more awesome than all gods. For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the Lord made the sky.
