Worship Series for October 6 – 27, 2024
Our story continues as we explore pivotal moments in Israel’s history where God’s intervention changes the course of events. From Moses’ intercession for a rebellious people to Hannah’s personal prayer, David’s covenant, and Solomon’s global vision, these stories reveal God’s mercy, faithfulness, and long-term promises. In our lives, we also face moments where everything can shift. This series invites us to see how God’s actions, even in times of failure or uncertainty, can transform our paths. By reflecting on these ancient turning points, we are encouraged to recognize God’s presence and guidance in our own critical moments today.
