SERVE

Maturity is required for a normal Christian life. 

Recognize that life is a human experience that everyone living has.  

No one is exempt from chaos, pain, failure or evil.  

The Lord God Almighty-Jesus Christ- will stand with you.

He will not let you be overwhelmed.  

If you will ask and listen He will show you a way out.  

We live in Jesus’ victory.  Claim it.  Live it.  HE is Lord.

Without His shed blood we would not be cleansed.  

Without Jesus we can do nothing. 

He is the only way to the Father. 

Jesus is truly Lord.
