Actions evidence convictions . . . so what do your actions indicate? As we step from the Christmas season into a new year, we begin to pivot from the “manger” to effective ministry.
Difficult Texts
“Right-knowing” & “Right-doing”
We need a lot of examples of faith-in-action as we stumble through a life of faithfulness. This week Josh leads us through various applications of both “right-knowing” and “right-doing” in the believer’s walk.
A Fearful Thing
Worship is at its fullest when we have the fullest view of God that we can manage. This must take into view aspects of God’s character that we love AND the ones that we may be less comfortable with.
