Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. (Psalm 19:14) As Father’s Day slowly approaches this month, there’s so much that can be said about the Father figure. Strong, steady, courageous, and determined.

He Is Risen!! Such sweet and beautiful words to hear! We pray you all had a wonderful Easter weekend and are ready to dive into week 2 of our Colossians study. Week 2: Colossians 2:1-23 In Chapter 2 Paul is in great conflict. He wants them to choose spiritual principles over legalism because false teachings are being shared throughout the Jews.
