Stay up to date!
From Sunday:

One line in Psalm 46 has always stuck out to me, "Be still and know that I am God" In this case, be still does not just mean don't move around. It is about giving our lives and our troubles to God. This whole God Song is really talking about this idea of God being our refuge when we face difficulties in life. God is the place we go to when we experience troubles and tough times.
 
En Agape',  
Rev. Michael Weeks
