How Should Christians Respond to the Preaching of God's Word

Welcome to the Morning Worship at College Heights Baptist on the fifth day of May, 2024 service begins at 10:30 AM Praise him, skies above! Praise him, vapors high above the clouds! Let every created thing give praise to the Lord, for he issued his command, and they came into being. He set them in place forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love, Where there is injury, pardon Where there is doubt, faith, Where there is despair, hope, Where there is darkness, light, Where there is sadness, joy. O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console, not so much to be understood, as to understand, not so much to be loved, as to love, for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we awake to eternal life. SAINT FRANCIS OF ASSISI (??-1226) (Outside of the scriptures, this is probably the most popular prayer of all time.)
