In this message, Pastor Rick Bates continues the “Scrapbook: Our Lives – God’s Story” series by sharing aspects of his life that give testimony to the marvelous way God has worked in his life. God works in all our lives forming the “essentials” we need to make the most of life. This message highlights three of those Biblical essentials – encouraging each other, empowering those who are burdened, and being edified by God’s truth.
