5 Discerning the Voice of God Bible Study for Men and Women Starting on Wed. March 7th at 6:45 in Conference Room #3, we will begin a 7-week DVD study by Priscilla Shirer on Discerning the Voice of God. This study will be open to men and women, couples or individuals. Have you ever heard a voice speaking to you and wondered if it was God or were you just dreaming? Have you felt a nudge within your soul, but could not decide if it was just your thoughts and emotions or something more? God loves you and desires a personal relationship with you. He wants to speak directly to you. But do you recognize His voice? This study helps you know if what you hear is from God. Through this study you will become more familiar with God's Holy Spirit, His character, His language, and the tone of His voice. This is an opportunity to discover the root to clear and daily communication with God - humble obedience. To learn how to surrender unlocks His many blessings intended for us, centers us in His will, and helps us discern His voice in everyday life. You are invited to come be part of this journey with others who are seeking to learn and grow in His holy Word. The deadline for signing up will be February 25.
