Vision
When we read passages such as, “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” (Lam 3:22-23), what does that do to your soul? Do you picture a calm morning sunrise, prior to the hustle and busyness of the world? We hope that as disciples of Jesus, we get to slow down in these seasons; intentionally reflecting on the new life that is offered by Jesus.
Journey of the King
We have been in the book of Luke and are excited to continue looking at four people and their response to Jesus.
