https://www.youtube.com/@LifeWithCornerstoneEvery king thought he was the author.
But every king was just a character.
But every king was just a character.
1. Kingdoms run in circles.
God writes in a straight line
God writes in a straight line
2. Control is the oldest illusion in the world.
3. God is not reacting to history, He rules over it.
4. You don't need to understand everything when you trust the One who does.

Our group is led by caring people who have experienced grief and want to help you through the difficult days ahead.
