Watching our Words

Words can have a huge impact for good or bad. We look at some images the Bible gives us to help us understand the impact of our words can have.

Learning lessons with Jonah

It is important to learn when we make mistakes or if we go the wrong way. The story of Jonah helps us understand the various ways God uses to teach us lessons.

Serving others
