or do you and your
school feel behind?
 Is funding fine, or is
funding fuzzy?

I John 4:10 This is love! It is not that we loved God but that
He loved us. For God sent His Son to pay for our sins
with His own blood.
(New Life Version)
Acts 17:24-29 ―The God who made the world and everything
in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in
custom-made shrines or need the human race to run
errands for him, as if he couldn’t take care of
himself…He doesn’t play hide-and-seek with us.
He’s not remote; he’s near.
We live and move in him..‖(The Message)

8. 
 Don’t try to put God first. Through the power of the Holy
Spirit, seek to put God everywhere.
 Don’t seek rituals. Seek a relationship.
 Every relationship has seasons and stages.
