Can we ever truly accuse God of wrong doing when things in life are not as we might want them? Job learns that God is awesome and that there is so much he doesn’t know.

What qualities make a good potential spouse? Should spiritual concerns be the only concerns or are their more practical matters that need to be considered.

What was the role of the Holy Spirit in Jesus' ministry on earth? How did the Holy Spirit work with individuals to reveal what Jesus came to do on earth?

Through communion with the Holy Spirit and consistent prayer, we can too. This week we explore the book of Luke focusing on these aspects.

What are some hindrances to our prayers and what role should praise play in our Christian experience?
