David and Goliath, Faith in a mighty God.

Glorifying God in the mundane…
Have you ever wondered how you can glorify God in the mundane of day to day life? How about starting with this… 1 ‘Give thanks unto the Lord; 2 Call upon his name: 3 Make known his deeds among the people. 4 Sing unto him, 5 Sing psalms unto him: 6 Talk ye of allContinue reading “Glorifying God in the mundane…”
Peace, Be Still…
Jesus ‘went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake.
