Paul Howdershell spoke today from Heb 11:6
And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who
comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who
earnestly seek him.
He talked about how to acknowledge God?s existence, understand God?s character, and accept God?s offer to help you.
