Faith, Properly Placed, is Transformative
When you come to Jesus in faith He always is waiting.
He is never too busy, too tired, too frustrated or too uninterested
Hope is Found in the Transcendent
There is no one like Him.
He is the Alpha and Omega, the Creator of the World, the Author and Finisher of our faith.
He is Lord of All!
