Psalm 119:105 "God's Word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path."
As we navigate the uncertain and dark times we currently live in, more than ever we need the LIGHT of God's Word to guide us. It is our fervent prayer that each podcast (a teaching taken from our ARCHIVES@midchurch) will be to you a "lamp" for your feet and a "light" for your path.
