1 Samuel 3:1-4:1a When spiritual leadership fails and God seems silent, the deepest need is not a better strategy but a renewed hunger to hear and obey the word of God. In this lesson, Pastor Ben Khazraee shows how God’s silence can be a form of judgment, why a heart trained to respond quickly is prepared to hear God, and how passivity and spiritual dullness can starve us even with a Bible on the shelf.

Ephesians 5:11-14 As our culture drifts further from its Christian roots, followers of Jesus face a pressing question: how should people of the light live in the darkness without retreating from the world or blending into it?

1 Samuel 2:1-11 When life withholds what we long for and others mock our weakness, it is easy to wonder whether God sees us at all. In this lesson, Josh Hollingsworth shows how Hannah’s song roots praise in who God is, warns against proud and self-sufficient words, and reveals the Lord’s pattern of lifting the lowly, a pattern that points to Jesus, the promised King.

1 Samuel 1 When life feels empty, painful, and out of control, where do you turn — and what do you actually believe about the God you’re praying to?

Ephesians 5:3-5 Our culture calls almost anything “love” as long as two people feel it, but not every desire that feels like love actually is love.

The post Walking in Love, Walking in Holiness appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

When there’s no one in charge, everyone does what feels right to them — and history shows how quickly that unravels into chaos.
