Meeting God in Scripture (online) 
Scripture is more than words on a page. It’s an account of real events of people interacting with God. You can join them in that interaction by studying the passage carefully (left brain) and then allowing the Spirit to guide you in understanding how God might be speaking to you today through that passage. This is the primary way God communicates with us. Don’t miss out!
