God’s promise is received by faith
God’s grace is a promise to us, received by faith. It isn’t reliant on us keeping the law or the rules, but is reliant on us holding on to hope and faith in God.

Both of these things needs to be in balance, like the centre-point of a seesaw. You can join us next…

You can join us next week in-person at 9.30am or…

In the Bible we find examples and metaphors that refer to God with mothering characteristics. He nurtures, he protects, he guides and defends.
