Summary
In the kingdom of God, we find a culture different from that of our world. We are often taught to be self-made, pull ourselves up by our boot straps, and that it’s the survival of the fittest. God’s kingdom turns these principles on their head. We are encouraged to wait, trust, and receive from our God who supplies for our every need.
Our Scripture for today comes from Philippians 4:19, and today's worship is Provider by Urban Rescue.
