Living on Purpose-Spiritual

We’ve all heard phrases like “God will never give you more than you can handle” or “Forgive and forget.” They sound comforting, but here’s the problem: God never actually said them.

Week 3: More Than Happy
1 Peter 1: 15-16, John 15: 9-11

Instead, Scripture teaches that in all things God is at work to redeem, restore, and weave His purposes into the brokenness of everyday life.
