God Speaks

Series Overview

Relationships can't happen without communication. And our God is a relational God. He knows us and wants to be known by us. He is a God who speaks. Throughout His story, we see our Father talking to His kids. Whether in an audible voice or a gentle whisper or through the godly advice of others, God speaks. And His words are always worth listening to. As you explore this series in the Old Testament stories of people who listened and didn't listen to God's voice, may you and the children you lead tune your ears to the kind voice of our loving Father.
