ANNOUNCEMENTS: Join us at Elder Led Prayer - Feb 18 at 6pm (childcare is available). Start preparing your heart now for this Lent season.
TEXTS: Exodus 20:12, 1 Peter 2:17, Romans 12:10, Ephesians 6:1-2, Philippians 2:3-5, Matthew 15:18, Ephesians 6:4 and Matthew 26:39
BIG IDEA: The #1 reason that we don’t give honor is because we are honor hogs. Why give credit when you can take credit? Honor is the willful decision to lift others and lower self.
