Whenever the apostle Paul went into a new city to preach, he had his custom of going into a synagogue (Acts 17:1-2). It was his habit or something that was very usual for him to do.

What kind of customs do we have?

What is our usual?

Are we creating good habits or bad ones?

In this episode, I share a quick reminder about a trap to avoid during the holiday season.

In my most recent sermon, I began with a passage from Ecclesiastes Chapter 3, verses 1-9. The preacher begins by saying, "There is a time for everything."

Those are challenging words to hear, yet necessary. In life, there will be difficult days to face. How we navigate them will make all the difference.

Faith will be required!
