TRUTH FREEDOM TRANSFORMATION
@greenvillefmc #EnjoyingGod
Today we’re digging into 1 Corinthians 2 in our continuing“experiment” about enjoying God in His Word. In this chapter, Paul, the letter writer, makes a startling comment aboutsomething that would have kept people from crucifying Jesus. What he teaches opens a window into how we know themysteries of God. Is that really possible?
If you are our guest today, please stop by one of the WelcomeCenters before you leave to get more information and a gift.If you have children, we provide very safe surroundings andwonderful activities. See more information inside this folder.
