Thirsty Thursdays - Young Adult Bible Study
"But as for me, I almost lost my footing. My feet were slipping, and I was almost gone. For I envied the proud when I saw them prosper despite their wickedness. They seem to live such painless lives; their bodies are so healthy and strong."
Psalm (73:2-4, NLT)
Sometimes life doesn't seem fair. Bad things seem to happen to good people and the proud seem to prosper. Consequently, we can be deceived by appearances and then consumed with pursuing the wrong things for the wrong reasons without the right inspiration. For true balance we must keep God in the equation!
Join us this week and bring a friend as we continue our preaching and teaching series on 'balance' using the theme "Fit and Wealthy Ain't Always Healthy." Remember, Thirsty Thursdays is for the S.A.L.T. of the earth. It's not about how old you are it's about how much flavor you have!
