This Week | December 27 – January 2, 2024

December 29 | Proverbs 3:5-6, One Life To Live – Pastor Mark Hovermale

Synopsis: The fact is that we all have just one life to live. In order to live it well we need help and guidance. Proverbs 3:5-6 is a very famous passage from the Old Testament which offers us great instruction on how to live a faithful life for God. Trusting in God with all we have is the key to this great passage. What exactly does trust in God mean? Where does our knowledge and obedience come into play in living a life for God? As we enter into a new year, we will see and hear a clear calling from Proverbs 3 to put our trust in God and follow Him with our whole life along with practical instruction on how to do this.

Fighter Verse: Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
