God is always at work. It falls upon us to see Him working and then to join Him. It could be said that this is no easy task and so for the next weeks both during Sunday morning worship and our Bible study at 11am we are going to attempt to discern just what the Bible says with regards to how we can discern the will of God and hopefully experience Him in our lives. We will investigate 7 basic principles that were developed from the Scriptures by Henry Blackaby. Reading Blackaby’s book and hearing him speak had a transformative effect on my life. I grew in the depth of my relationship with Him. Sometimes God uses the writers of books to give a different perspective of His word, even to those who read the Word daily. Beginning February 2, 2025 at 11am we will study these 7 Biblical principles:
1. God is always at work around you.
2. God pursues a continuing love relationship with you that is real and personal.
3. God invites you to become involved with Him in His work.
4. God speaks by the Holy Spirit, through the Bible, prayer, circumstances, and the Church, to reveal Himself, His purposes and His ways. This is the meat of the matter!
5. God’s invitation for you to work with Him ALWAYS leads to a crisis of belief that requires faith and action.
6. You must make adjustments in your life to join God in what He is doing.
7. You come to know God by experience as you obey Him and He accomplishes His work (in you) and through you.
I would like to invite all of you to join us as we all seek to grow in our relationship with
God through Jesus. If you like you could buy the book Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby. It doesn’t matter which edition. We can also begin by doing SOAP together. Reading Scripture at least 15 minutes a day. Observing what the Bible is saying. Applying the passage to our lives and Praying that God will speak to us through His word and then help us to apply it 24/7.
Special announcement: Beginning 2/7/25 on communion Sundays we will celebrate
birthdays and anniversaries during our fellowship time at 1030 am. Please join us as we
have some fun celebrating!
