Matthew 4:10 While being tempted by the devil, Jesus was encouraged to forget his purpose, forget his task, forget his God. But he didn’t. Instead he rededicated himself to God and to God’s service. We too are called to rededicate ourselves to God and to God’s service. Adult Forum - March 1 at 9 am Join us for a discussion on the Way of Love Adult Forum Series.
