Message: Pastor Brian
“Brought Up from the Pit”
Response of Faith (Canons of Dort I.13)
In their awareness and assurance of [God’s gift of salvation], God’s children daily find greater cause to humble themselves before God,
to adore the fathomless depth of God’s mercies, to cleanse themselves, and to give fervent love in return to the One who first so greatly loved them.
