Christian Growth

Flesh vs. Spirit Bible Studies - Galatians 5:16-26

Quiet Time With God

Come To The Banquet
What if there was a way to go deeper in our time alone with God? What if we could experience God with all our senses and hear His voice as we learn to be still and listen?  Come to the Banquet is a way to experience God in this way! 

Through the use of images, music, listening prayer and creative expression you will discover that God is everywhere around you, waiting to be heard. By learning how to listen more effectively and journal what you hear, you can take your relationship with Him to a whole new level.
