Heartbeat, More Than Able, Waiting Here For You, Been So Good #WorshipSet #Jun15 10:15AM CDT https://tinyurl.com/YGlivestream #ygchurch #wonderoverworry
I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?...Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. –Matthew 6:25-26, 34
Let’s discover how to live in awe and wonder of GOD, abiding in peace. No doubt loneliness, anxiety, and discouragement will challenge all of us. But there is GOD’s intent for “life to the full” and we want more of it. Join Younger Generation Church in their new series, Saturdays, 10:15AM CDT. tinyurl.com/YGlivestream
