Finding Our Path
This morning, we will enjoy the Lord’s presence as we pray, sing and offer praises to the Lord. Pastor Jim Renke is starting a new 6 message series in the Psalms. The series walks through the Psalms, showing us that we can find our strength in a dynamic life of faith in God. We start with Psalm 1, as a foundation to walking in faith. It reminds us there are two paths. And the blessed path is the one where we associate ourselves with God and we find then that he associates with us.
