##GROWING OUR FAITH
Colossians 2:5-7
“For though I am absent from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is. So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
Colossians 2:5-7 NIV
- Feed your Faith
- through the word
- faith begins where the will of God is known.
“How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!”
