    With this message, I introduce to the congregation an exploration of the little understood doctrine of soul competency.

    “I write these things to you about those who are trying to deceive you. But the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you.

    Thanksgiving and worship are intimately related. Without a thankful heart, there can be no worship. But what do we know of worship? Let’s explore the worship of the redeemed in heaven to learn about worship and thanksgiving.
