If someone else knew every thought and action you made, would it cause you anxiety or bring you peace? The Bible is clear: God knows us intimately. Beyond what others see, He even knows our thoughts, but there's no reason to fear because God loves us and considers us His children.

As Romans 5:8 says, while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

As we begin a new series, we look back at some of the foundational messages that formed our church. This week, we focus on some core values of Pathways and define what faith is.
