Starting with Joshua 2, we venture toward the example of Rahab and how a repentant life leads to a commitment with God

Starting a new segment of the Thread podcast series this week, we survey Deuteronomy. When we disobey, it typically indicates that we lack trust in God and others.

God intended to celebrate life under his statutes

God intends to tabernacle with us!

"Make every effort to confirm your calling and election" -- to the position of royal priest in the mold of Jesus, initiating & interceding for others
