6. Psalm 121
1 I lift up my eyes to the mountains— where does my help come from? 2 My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot slip – he who watches over you will not slumber; 4 indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

7. Psalm 121
5 The Lord watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand; 6 the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord will keep you from all harm; he will watch over your life; 8 the Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

21. Walking by Faith Walking by faith involves being stuck between
times of promise and fulfillment
spaces of earth and heaven

22. Statement of Faith
God’s gospel originates in and expresses the wondrous perfections of the eternal, triune God.
We believe in one God, Creator of all things, holy, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in a loving unity of three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His own glory.

23. Walking by Faith God exists God rewards God has a good plan
What if we lived like this was true?
