Day 2239 – Hebrews-6 – Stop Churning and Start Resting – Daily Wisdom

Welcome to Day 2239 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Hebrews-6 Stop Churning and Start Resting – Daily Wisdom Putnam Church Message – 05/21/2023 “Stop Churning and Start Resting” Hebrews 4:1-11 Last week, we continued our extended series through the book of Hebrews in the New Testament.
