Starts April 24: You Are Stronger Than You Think
We all face pressure in life and at times feel overwhelmed. You never dreamed you’d be dealing with this health issue. Or you thought that trouble at work would be over now. Or you never thought you’d be going through a divorce and starting over at your age. But can I tell you something?
You are stronger than you think!
When God designed you, He took into account everything you would face in life—every struggle, every unfair situation, every setback—and He put in you the strength, the courage, and the determination to withstand it.
Join us for the start of our encouraging new series, starting April 24. Watch online or join us in person! You won’t want to miss this one!
