  • Philippians: Joy in the Midst 6

    Our November study is based off of Philippians: Joy in the Midst, by Carrie Gaul. To begin, I want to share a true story that was shared in a sermon decades ago. I do not remember the speaker. Yet, this story was one that helped to change my life. The speaker, a missionary, I believe, told…

  • No Complaining or Fighting

    Just a brief reminder today… “14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:” ~Philippians 2:14 Sometimes as adults, we forget the basic teaching of our childhood.

  • A Stirred Heart
