NAFWB News
Stay up-to-date on happenings throughout the Free Will Baptist denomination with this week's NAFWB News. Read below the exciting things going on in our national ministries.
Lay Aside the Weight
The theme this week at NAFWB has been "Lay Aside the Weight."
On Monday, we emphasized how God uses flawed people with Jesse Owens's podcast on Better Together.
Tuesday we posted a graphic on “Lay Aside Every Weight,” and yesterday we posted an article about how we can keep things in our lives from weighing us down and keeping us from giving God our best. The verse graphic today is Psalm 1:2.
Next week's theme is "Putting Our Faith Into Action."
