Reflection

Where in your life do you need to stop striving and start receiving the peace Jesus freely gives?

Be Transformed

“But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these… and put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator.”

— Colossians 3:8,10
