Firm Foundation
Welcome to August and as we continue to have the Best Summer Ever, this month, we’re encouraging YOU to find that FIRM FOUNDATION!
This month we are talking about what we are building our life on as inspired by Matthew 7:24–25, “Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”
