It may be difficult to resist the fear often used by political leaders to manipulate and divide us. We are called, instead, to remain calm, seek God's wisdom through prayer, and keep our focus on His eternal Kingdom. Whether you're navigating political or personal turmoil, tune in to receive practical guidance on how to stay rooted in faith and find peace in troubled times.  __________ Click here for our weekly 5-day devotionals: https://renovationchurch.com/sermon-deep-dive Prefer to watch our sermons?
