His Amazing Covenant
I’m currently doing two different Bible studies – one that focuses on 1 & 2 Kings and another that accounts Jesus’ last words in John.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.” Matthew 6:24 This week has seen many opportunities to make a choice. To choose the amazing peace given to us by Jesus or chaos. To choose to take our…
