Pastor’s Study
Truth is very powerful. When we see things as they really are and accept the truth concerning our lives as Christians and God’s purpose for us, every aspect of our life is affected.
Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman cutting straight the Word of Truth

Knowing The Desirous Will of God
Hearing God
Today we hear God by listening to the desires we have that are to do what is right. With the Holy Spirit indwelling us, God directly impacts our desires. By using the renewed mind that we have in Christ and training our senses to discern what is proper and what is wrong we can identify these desires and actually hear what God is saying to us. Not through a quiet voice, dreams, visions, or any other miraculous means, but by simply yielding to the desires we have to do good.
