The document discusses four ways to cultivate a deeper relationship with God: 1) Read the Bible to understand God's character and will through his word. 2) Pray to communicate thoughts, needs, and thanks directly to God. 3) Spend time with other Christians to encourage one another and learn about God together. 4) Share your faith so God can use you to show Christ to others. Making these practices part of life will lead to spiritual growth and a stronger relationship with God through the Holy Spirit.

ANY RELATIONSHIP. AND
WITH GOD IT’S NO
DIFFERENT!

7. FOUR WAYS THAT YOU CAN
COMMUNICATE GOD.

8. 1. READ THE
BIBLE

9. GOD COMMUNICATES
THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES,
REVEALING HIS
CHARACTER and HIS WILL.

10. THE BIBLE ISN’T JUST
ANOTHER ANCIENT BOOK;
IT’S INSPIRED Y GOD. SO
WHENEVER YOU READ IT.
THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL
SPEAK THROUGH ITS
WORDS.

11. 2. PRAY

12. PRAYER IS JUST ANOTHER
WORD FOR TALKING TO
GOD. HE WANTS TO HEAR
YOUR THOUGHTS, NEEDS
AND DESIRES.

13. YOU CAN TALK TO HIM
ABOUT EVERYTHING; HE
HEARS YOU AND ANSWERS
YOU.
PRAYER IS A WAY YOU CAN
THANK GOD FOR ALL HE IS
DOING IN YOUR LIFE.

14. 3. HANG OUT WITH
CHRISTIANS

15. BEING TOGETHER WITH
OTHER CHRISTIANS,
ENCOURAGING AND
BUILDING UP ONE ANOTHER,
IS VITAL FOR GROWING IN
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
GOD.

16. THE GREEK WORD FOR THIS
IS “KOINONIA” WHICH
MEANS “ SHARING IN
COMMON”.

17. THAT GOD CAN USE YOU TO
ENCOURAGE AND
CHALLENGE THEM AND IN
TURNBE ENCOURAGED AND
CHALLENGED.

18. GOD HAS APPOINTED THE
CHURCH AS A PLACE TO
MEET OTHER CHRISTIANS
LEARN ABOUT HIM, AND
WORSHIP HIM.

19. 4. SHARE YOUR
FAITH

20. WHEN YOU MAKE
YOURSELF AVAILABLE FOR
THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SPEAK
THROUGH YOU, YOU ARE
COMMUNICATING WITH
GOD.

21. HE’S ABLE TO USE YOU
TO SHOW CHRIST TO
THOSE WHO DON’T YET
KNOW HIM.
A LIFE WITH HIM IS AN
INCREDIBLE GIFT.

22. THE MORE WE SHARE
THE TREASURE WITH
OTHERS, THE DEEPER
OUR OWN JOY IN GOD
WILL BECOME.

23. AS YOU RELY ON THE HOLY
SPIRIT FOR POWER. READ
THE BIBLE PRAY, SPEND
TIME WITH OTHER
CHRISTIANS AND TELL
ABOUT JESUS.

24. GOD WILL PRODUCE HIS
CHARACTER IN YOU. AND
THERE’S NO QUESTION YOU
WILL EXPERIENCE
SPIRITUAL GROWTH.
