Trust The Lord And Banish Fear

We have covered a lot in the last six weeks, but as we wrap up our study on Fear and Anxiety I want us to focus on the advice that we are given in Proverbs 3:5-8: Trust the Lord! This definitely sounds easier than it is, but this is key

Maranatha

When the Christians in the first century celebrated the Lord’s Supper, they would say a prayer that ended with “Maranatha,” meaning “Our Lord, come.” As Christians, we look forward to the second coming of Jesus, that time where He will return to us in order to eradicate all sin once
