Scriptures for Life
We believe that the Bible is God’s message to us, a guide to help us know him, even a love letter of sorts. Because we believe it contains the words of God, we believe that through it God has given us principles to help and guide us in our daily lives. We also believe that God’s Spirit speaks to us through these written words, so as we read and study we also try to listen for God’s voice guiding us. We hope that these few scripture selections can serve as a starting point for you as you find God’s presence with you through the struggles of life. If you have more questions or would like to talk to someone, please contact Brandon or Judy.
