     | 2,825 views

    This sermon explores how hearing and obeying God’s voice leads to walking in the divine purpose He has set for our lives. It emphasizes how purpose is discovered and fulfilled through a close relationship with God.

This search for purpose is not just a natural human longing—it is a spiritual pursuit. The Bible tells us in ...read more

    Be assured, God has a purpose for His people. Idleness is never an option.

    We may feel we have a bit of a raw deal- like we’re in a desert- but the key is knowing who and what to ask. We need to ask the Father for ’streams of water’.
