Tearing Down Walls

FIRST15
About this episode

In today’s devotional, we’re continuing our focus on honesty by looking at how we can tear down walls we’ve built up in God’s presence every day. There is true life in vulnerability. And if we can trust God to be our shield, living with openness and love towards him, ourselves, and others, we’ll experience a greater abundance of life than we thought was possible. Let’s come before God today with courage, trust, and humility.

 

Our Scripture for today comes from Acts 24:16, and today's worship is You Know Me by Steffany Gretzinger.
