New around here? We'd love to connect
God is always trying to reach us. But most of the time, we aren’t ready or willing to listen. In order to really communicate with God, we have to first learn to receive from God – His blessings, forgiveness, and grace. Join Teaching Pastor Alli Patterson as she explains that no matter how we may feel, God will never condemn or shame us: in fact, each of us can learn to receive His communication and ultimately strengthen our personal relationship with God.
