Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

Ephesians

What God Starts God Finishes

PHILIPPIANS 1:6 – “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” THEME OF THE DAY: WHAT GOD STARTS, GOD FINISHES.  Today’s scripture is the anchor of our souls when the storms of doubt assail our hearts.
