God Meets Us in the Whisper
Come, hear how God might be preparing you for a new call. Is it time to walk into a new opportunity, or a new responsibility? Let’s learn from Elijah how God whispers his direction in a comforting and reassuring way. And it also helps to remember that the spiritual work is always his work.
