Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 5, 2023

God has intentionally built rhythm into life and creation. Recognizing and living within this rhythm leads to a flourishing life.

Today, we're talking about something called cadence. Cadence is all about rhythm, like the beat in your favorite song. But what happens when the beat is off? It just doesn't sound right, right? Well, God has a rhythm too, and it's in everything He's made. Imagine you're at a concert. The band is ...read more

Jesus Wept
