ADDICTION RECOVERY:
Warrior’s Heart
Warrior’s Heart is a weekly bible study for men in the Garden Room of the Loop Campus of Houston’s First Baptist Church. This summer we will journey together through the Gospel of Matthew discovering what God will reveal as we devote ourselves to daily Bible reading, prayer, and accountability. Each week we will have a short teaching time followed by real conversations around tables in a relaxed atmosphere. While men are encouraged to come weekly, it is not a requirement of the study. Join us (and bring a friend if you like) and start your day off with focus and encouragement!
