FORGIVENESS & RECONCILIATION: Who Pays? We have been talking about forgiveness in women’s step study, talking about what it means to forgive, what it takes, what it is and what it isn’t.

SELF-CONTROL: DECISION MAKING AS A FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT Do you ever wonder why you might have victory in one area, but not in another? Do you ever wonder why you might have victory for a season, but then lose that victory in another season? What exactly makes or breaks us in overcoming our character…
