Current Update
NEW SERMON SERIES - "BEHOLD YOUR GOD"
In order to love well, we must know the God who loved us first, for the heart cannot love what the mind does not know. To know God more, we must know what he is like. Therefore, studying his attributes is one of the best ways to come to know him. As we walk through the book of Psalms, we will begin by seeing God as our refuge. The discussion questions for this week can be found HERE. Cards with the "Attributes of God" can be downloaded and printed HERE.
