Shownotes Transcript

Because humans have been made in the image of God, we are very special! The psalmist wrote, “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139: 13-14) When God created you, He made you into a 3-dimensional being; a being that has a body, a soul, and a spirit. Join us next Sunday as Pastor Mike teaches us about the trichotomy of man and how we can experience true wholeness in our inner being in 2015.
