Concept of a man follows the right way

 
As you begin 2018, we encourage you to begin on a foundation of Biblical Truth. Here are some verses to get you started, but we challenge you to build your life like never before on the principles of God’s Word, the Bible. Read it, meditate on what it means, listen to sermons online, memorize it and more.  If you do not have a church home that preaches and teaches the Bible regularly, please consider visiting our church.  We have many options for learning the Bible and for building great God-honoring relationships.  
 
Here are the 18 verses to start 2018.  Feel free to add your own. The Bible is filled with promises from God.
