THIS COMING SUNDAY - October 8th​​​​​​
MESSAGE - The Law of Increase
By Pastor Eddie Lawrence

Did you know that there is a law of increase laid out in God's Word for us to live by? It is seen in numerous places in Scripture and it is even encoded in your own DNA. It applies to many areas of our lives - physical, material, emotional and spiritual. I'm excited about sharing this truth this coming Sunday at Grace House. This Sunday is also a very significant Sunday for our church family as we take a step together into the vision God has before us. We are truly humbled at what God is doing in our midst. God is good. We are just folks who love God and other folks. Come experience Father's love with us this Sunday.
