Series: Personal Faith Lessons

Every day, if we are willing to pay attention, God is teaching believers personal lessons to help us grow in our faith. 

These lessons come in many forms, and as we study the Bible, God teaches us—through his Word in the Bible first and through the everyday experiences of life and the people we meet. God is working in your life in big and small ways, if you take the time to look and listen.
