Lesson 3 – Intro – Sept. 28-October 4 EL ELYON
It was only a few decades ago when children called almost all adults and teachers by either their family name – Mr. or Mrs. Smith, for example, or by the title of their familial relationship, such as grandma or uncle Bob.

What are your thoughts? Lesson 2 – ELOHIM

Sharing an Insight – Lesson 1

First of all, REMEMBER and KEEP ON REMEMBERING who God is and what He has done for you. BE CAREFUL TO LOVE HIM and SERVE HIM. Nurture that love through…… Continue Reading
