Tuesdays

Men’s Ministry: Psalm 23

Though only six verses long, this Psalm teaches us profound truths about our loving and protective God. By studying Psalm 23 through a video study with Matt Chandler, we’ll encounter a life-transforming question: Do you trust the Lord to care for your needs? Men’s Ministry begins as a larger group for a teaching and then transitions into small groups.
