IN SEARCH OF THE LORD’S WAY
God is graciously giving us a new year. What will you do with it? The beginning of a new year offers us an opportunity to begin some good habits in our journey of life. These habits can help us to draw close to God and please Him. In next week’s lesson, “I am Resolved,” Phil Sanders will discuss some of those habits. The nationally televised program can be seen locally every Sunday on WTRF-TV, Ch. 7, at 7:30 a.m.
