NEWS & UPCOMING EVENTS

The Truth for Women Center is offering a four-week series on The Power of a Whisper – Hearing God. Having the Guts to Respond.

Join bestselling author and pastor Bill Hybels in this four-week session video-based study during which our group will learn to direct our everyday steps according to “whispers” from God.

You will learn how to discern the “voice” of God from the other voices that vie for your attention, how to invite his input into your daily routine, how to “practice” his presence and how to allow heaven-sent input to direct your life toward making a kingdom-oriented difference in this world.

 Four week Bible Study will begin on Thursday, March 8^th at 7:00-8:00 pm 

Located at Truth for Women’s Center, Suite 110. 

Cost: $20 (includes Participant’s Guide) 

Facilitator: Tammy Gehman 

 Synopsis of Series: 

In The Power of a Whisper, vision is cast for what life can look like when God’s followers choose to hear from heaven as they navigate life on earth. Whispers that arbitrate key decisions, nudges that rescue from dark nights of the soul, promptings that spur on growth, urgings that come by way of another person, inspiration that opens once-glazed-over eyes to the terrible plight people face in this world. Author Bill Hybels promotes passion in Christ-followers’ hearts for being wide open to hearing from God, and for getting gutsier about doing exactly what He says to do.
