In Control – Addiction recovery
15For I do not understand my own actions.

For I have the desire to do what is…

Fruit of our Lips
12So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. 13Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. 14For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. 15Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.” Hebrews 12:12-15 HANDOUT
It’s All Good – The Goodness of God
