Service-Bulletin: Developing Spiritual Depth | 2 Peter 1:3-10 (ESV)
Depth doesn’t happen by accident. But what does it really mean to grow in your faith - and how do you know if you’re going deeper or simply standing still? This weekend, we reflect on developing spiritual depth and what helps our faith and relationship with God mature over time. (2 Peter 1:3–10) – Pst Dave Peacock
