Where Do You Put Your Trust? Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on May 29, 2022

Where do you put your trust? Without any exaggeration at all, that’s the most important question of our life: Who to trust? What do you seek for the security, confidence, the peace and rest that you need? And this is the only right answer: ‘I trust in God. I wait on him. My faith is in the Lord ...read more

To Whom Will You Liken God? Series

Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jul 11, 2022

To whom shall the LORD be compared? Who is his equal? There really is none like him! When we really see that truth, and we accept it, then we’ll be comforted in all our trouble, our sin and brokenness.
