For the Bruised and Battered

By David Dyess II Last Sunday my pastor spoke on ‘Hope’. After thinking about his message for several days, I began thinking about how we lose sight of the control that God actually has. We have hope in God, the Son, and the Spirit, but do we embrace the entirety of that hope? Hope is…

Walk Worthy of Our Calling
