Sunday in Review

Understanding the Will of God: Practically Part 1

Ephesians 5:17

One thing to remember: God wants us to know His will.

Two questions to ask:

1. Do I really want to know God’s will? (Even if it necessitates some radical changes) 2. Am I willing to do God’s will if I can know it?

Join us in the coming weeks as we dive deeper.

September 15th

Understanding the Will of God: Personally

September 22nd Understanding the Will of God: Biblically
