• The Spirit's voice consistently points to the essence of love and mission exemplified by Jesus, enhancing our spiritual understanding.

• The eternal message of God’s love, demonstrated on the cross, serves as the ultimate guide in discerning divine communication today.

Notable Quotes:

• “Every message from the Holy Spirit comes through the template of the cross.”

The God of the Bible is a talking God. All throughout the Scriptures, God is seen talking to people. First to the prophets, then most fully in Jesus and today through his Holy Spirit. When we choose to follow Jesus, the Spirit speaks to remind us of all that Jesus established and apply it to our lives.

So how does the Spirit speak? How do we know it’s God? And what happens afterwards? Join Rev Dr Tania Harris as she explores what the Spirit is saying to us. Everyday God Conversations will encourage you weekly to reflect on the God-conversations of Scripture, the ultimate God-conversation in Jesus and to hear from the Holy Spirit yourself. Remember, it was never meant to be a one-way conversation!
