Morning Devotionals

Good morning and Welcome back to JK Woodall Ministries morning devotions. So as we do, we get a scripture out of the Bible. We read it and then we'll just sit back and let us observe the word and let the Word speak to us. Now every morning is different every weekend's different. Different things are going on in our lives, our community and our families, but this is an opportunity for us to hear that word from the Lord. 


So this morning grab your Bibles we're going to come to you out of Matthew 28:20. That's Matthew 28 verse 20 ... Don't worry about which version you have. Join me in reading Matthew 28 verse 20. Teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you and behold. I am With You Always to the end of the ages. Amen No sometimes.
