Luke 17:1-6
We are celebrating Independence Day in America this weekend - Happy 4th of July to our friends at Cross Church. As the heat turns up, we find ourselves in the middle of summer and getting reading for VBS.

No matter how long time goes, there will never be more needed information on God's will for our spiritual lives that what we already possess in the Scriptures. The Scripture is accurate - we trust God's word more than our own experiences to guide us into God's pres ...
