FOUNDATION
FOUNDATION
Abulldozer can move massive amounts of earth. Roots and rocks are scooped aside to clear and level a piece of land, to prepare it for a foundation that will support a structure built to stand far into the future. We can develop a strong spiritual foundation for our future if we rely on the power of God to help us clear out the obstructing roots and rocks of our past so we can have a level start. Worship each week and discover His power to help you begin a new life built on the foundation of love and hope for the future. “Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm.” 2 Timothy 2:19 09/12/2023 11:00 PM
