Close to God; February 18, 2018
Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” God’s timing is very interesting, and perfect. I had no idea what I would be preaching on today when I made up this … Continue reading
God Cares!; August 10, 2017
1 Chronicles 28:19 “All this,” David said, “I have in writing from the hand of the Lord upon me, and he gave me understanding in all the details of the plan.” When we look at everything listed in verses 12-18, … Continue reading
