Monday, July 13th Encouraging Word - “The God who has been my shepherd all my life”. Genesis 48:15 These aren't just words that sound good in a poem.

Do you live with an awareness that God is your shepherd, that he is guiding and He is directing, even when you don't know the path?

This Week's Message "Genesis 48–50 - Past, Present and Future Generations" Pastor Jeremy | Genesis 48–50 Jacob's life is coming to a close, yet the words of faith he shares with his family are powerful. He learned by living that God was his Shepherd. God was in control even when life felt out of control. He can be trusted to keep His promise of blessing and therefore, we can trust Him too.
