Know What You Believe and Why You Believe It!
Know What You Believe and Why You Believe It!
At the start of the new year we like to embark on new quests. (Resolutions!) Did you know that in the Church calendar the first Sunday of Advent starts the new year? So, what’s your resolution?
Mine is to know God more. I’m using three tools on my quest:
- I’m using A Little Book on the Christian Life by John Calvin as a devotional guide.
- I’m pursuing Unexpected Encounters with God each Sunday in our worship services.
- I’m planning to complete the Bible Recap in 2025.
We are the kind of people who know what we believe and why we believe it. I am hoping that in the next year I will know God better than ever before. How about you?
The Lord be with you,
Kent Landhuis
Pastor of Teaching & Leadership
