Through God’s Eyes

We all know that we face trials that are intended to increase our faith. We also know that we usually learn by experience, as we can better understand how others feel when we’ve been there ourselves. This reminds me of our heavenly Father, who wrapped himself in flesh and walked among us; so that even HE could truly understand his own creation and ultimately become a living sacrifice for our sins. If we study His example, the way He dealt with the negative in life Continue reading →

Here are a few pictures from the evening. If you are searching for a church home, Christmas would be a great time to join us!
