In He Speaks to Me, Priscilla shows us how God spoke to Samuel and how He speaks to Christians today. Why do we settle for the Word of the Lord revealed to someone else and passed on to us as if God does not speak to us individually? This shouldn t satisfy us. He wants us to hear His voice, understand, and obey. The Lord desires to speak to us personally. He wants to meet us where we are despite who we are and reveal His will for our lives. God is going to reveal Himself and His plan for you in new ways. Make a commitment to be obedient to whatever He says. The results will be glorious. The deadline to sign up for this study is Sunday, April 8, 2018. If you know of someone who would be interested in attending this study, please invite them to join us. We will be meeting in Conference Room #2.
