As we continue this year talking about "God's presence", Josh Ferguson brings a word from Psalm 27 for the men in Summit College about being men of one thing: to dwell in the house of the Lord and gaze at His beauty. We learned that to be men of one thing is what it really means to be men of God and ultimately, children of God. 

Continuing with our theme of “God’s Presence” for the semester, the Summit College women learned about God’s presence with the humble in Scripture. Through Psalm 131 we learned where the root of pride comes from and how to identify it in our lives. We finally saw that the only way to fight pride in our lives is to put our hope in the only true humble one, Jesus.
