  • New Study for Wednesday Nights

    June 17, 2009
    Drew has started a new study for Wednesday Nights.. famous verses in the Bible!
    If we were to start a series in a books, like we have been, we almost never get to look at any verses outside of the book. With this we’ll be skipping around and learning about verses that have become so important & figure out why.

    “8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

    Ephesians 2:8-9

    Drew explained to us so clearly that we are DEAD, we are born in to our trespasses & sins if we’re not in God. We were not able to respond to God, but through God’s great grace, & not through our own works we are now able. We will only boast in our great God!

  • Brigette

    This is Chassity Arnold. She is sixteen years old. She is a junior at Butler Traditional High School. She is pretty much awesome at everything she does.

    -The End!
