Dear Members,
Are you a worshipper? The Bible says God inhabits the praises of His people. If you want to get God’s attention, worship. If you want to hear from heaven, worship. If you want to get God involved in your life, worship.
The power of worship is not limited to Sunday morning. Worship is a daily experience with the Almighty King!
