The 8 Minute Devotion

Join Pastor Cameron as he shares that God's desire and requirement for His people was always relationship with Him and right relationship with others. Relationship over ritual, relationship over religion, and relationship over human rigor is the key! 

The Lord's requirements for His people were not mainly ethical, but relational! On today's podcast, Pastor Cameron shares about our need to obey God and love others as we love ourselves.

David took 5 smooth stones with him for his battle with Goliath, as Pastor Cameron reminds us today. Our victories will not come through natural means, but through the grace of God!
