📖 Weekly Roundup | June 1–7, 2025

Hi friends,

This week on Servants of Grace, we explored the victory of God through David, the clarity and sufficiency of His Word, and the importance of speaking truth with boldness and compassion in a confused world. Whether you’re following along with our daily Bible readings, diving into a fresh article, or catching up on a recent podcast, my prayer is that these resources will deepen your trust in Christ, strengthen your grasp of sound doctrine, and stir your heart to greater faithfulness.
