Rejoicing in Refuge
Randy Loveless
We break from our series in Philippians to go way back to the OT book of Nehemiah to look at the story of God’s people responding to His Word in a surprising way. In it, we are reminded of the power of God’s truth in a world of other options.
Anchored
The Bible makes a repeated call for us to be STEADFAST. What does that mean? How do we do that? The gospel provides for us not just an example of the steadfast love of God, but the means by which we can hold on (or be held) to the end.
