SERMON SNIPPETS AND BIBLE STUDY INSPIRATIONS

Some comments from recent sermon, coffee hour, and bible study conversations…

     “The process of binding is a human one. The process of unbinding is God's work – often done through human hands.”

     “God has put SO much potential into everyone God created.”

     “When we FEAR God, God doesn’t want us to be afraid but instead be in deep awe.”

     “The Lord is my shepherd; I am God’s sheep. And I wouldn’t want to be anything else.”

     “There is room for us all in God’s house .”
