Does the Bible Really Say That?
"God has a plan for your life." "God doesn't give you more than you can handle." These are simple statements that may capture in part what the Bible has to say, but they also miss the point in some important ways. That's why it's important to understand what the Bible really says. Join us as we search for the truth of Scripture.
This Sunday's sermon is "God Has a Plan for My Life," by Rev. Catherine Fluck Price.
