How do we know God’s will? – Westminster Shorter Catechism #2

Posted on by Phill Sacre

In the second part of the WSC we think about how we can start to live out our purpose: how do we know what it means to glorify God and enjoy him forever?

This is part of the weekly Thought for the Week series. This series is designed to give a short, 10-15 minute ‘thought’, including a Bible reading and a prayer. Currently I am working through the Westminster Shorter Catechism. You can see all videos on the catechism on this playlist.
