God

Some people have dedicated their careers to studying the life of Abraham Lincoln.

They have read every speech he ever gave, and they know the story of his life, perhaps even better than they know their own.

But do they know Abraham Lincoln?

Do they see the way his wife would have known him?

Or even the way a friend who regularly ate lunch with him would?

The fact is that no amount of reading about a person can be a substitute for spending time with them.

Knowing and studying the story of Jesus helps keep us on the right path, but God offers us so much more.

Through prayer, we can spend time with God and know him personally.

And supplication is just one way we can grow closer to God.

Worship, fellowship, and ministry all draw us closer to Him.

Our relationship with God is unlike any other, and what’s more, it is the foundation for all our other relationships.

The more time we spend in prayer and prayer and fellowship, the stronger and healthier our relationships with friends and family become.
