A Quieted Soul

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

Psalm 131 invites restless hearts into humility and hope—trusting God’s presence over answers, like a weaned child content with mother.

Sermon # 6 - United With A Purpose Series

Only when we are united in heart, mind and purpose will the people around us know and believe in Jesus. This sermon will teach us what we should do to make this a possibility.

Contributed by Benjamin Utomo on Nov 22, 2023

Giving thanks in all circumstances, which means we give thanks when we are sick, facing severe family problems, and experiencing enormous life difficulties, is certainly not easy! But that is what the apostle Paul commanded us to do. Is it possible? How can we do that?
