Thoughts from our other staff…
2 Timothy 3:16 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
We have to be careful that we don't add to or
take away from God's Word to conform or go with our
own personal views and opinions. Allow God's Word to
be the guiding truth in your life today.
His Servant,
Rev Kev ATTENTION ALL MEN!
You are needed to help serve at LIFT on October 18th

Know God Exists?” Look around and observe God’s creation. If we evolved by random chance our laws of science, physic, biology and logic would not work. Remember, the Prepare to Share material in your lesson is background information you are to read before class.
