What does it mean that peace goes to those on whom God's favor rests?
What is this peace, and how do we get God's approval?
This peace we can have comes from Jesus - It's the Holy Spirit who comforts and guides us as we strive to follow Jesus.
When you are adopted into God's family, you become part of His Forever Family
Question for you: Have you been adopted into God's Forever Family?
Question for the Church: How have we come around those in our lives who are hurting?
Scott Said: "Families, even our church family, needs to stick together. So what can we do as a family to just make it work? Because no family is perfect. And how can we as a church family continually be pointing and welcoming others into the forever family of God? Because that's what tomorrow is all about."
