SABBATH THOUGHTS FOR YOUR WEEK

SCRIPTURES THAT STRENGTHEN OUR FAITH

RESULTS OF AN INTERACTIVE SERVICE

This "Sabbath Thoughts" is the result of an interactive church service. Brethren from various fellowship groups including Orange County Fellowship and the Church of God Southern California came together to contribute their favorite Scriptural passages that havestrengthened their faith. I am always amazed and yet proud that these Brethren really are the "people of the Book." They love the Bibie and receive strength, faith, direction, courage, endurance, hope and love from it.

Rather than participate, I acted like a secretary while Mr. Scott Scharpen conducted the session with leadership and tact. He encouraged everyone to participate and most did. Below we present the passages they gave hoping that these Scriptures will also strengthen your faith!
