This year: Forgotten Jesus – Robby Gallaty - What has God taught you recently?
God doesn’t always define MORE the same way I do. This is in the context of our church praying Ephesians 3:20 for this year. Asking God to do MORE than we could ask or think.
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Ephesians 3:20
