Thirsty Thursdays - Young Adult Bible Study
"You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless." (Matthew 5:13, NLT)
Did you fall short of God's plans for your life in 2008? (Not your plans ... God's plans!) Are you in danger of losing your flavor? Don't sleep on who you truly are. Join us for the first Thirsty Thursdays Bible Study of 2009 as we jump start a year of miracles by "Unlocking Your True Potential!"
Rev. Jonathan V. Newton
Minister to Young Adults
