ASSEMBLIES OF GODCaptivated: Cultivating an Intimate Relationship with God
A six-week study rooted in Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.
Acknowledging God is more than asking Him to sign off on your decisions. In the original Hebrew, the word yada means to acknowledge, perceive, recognize, and to know—but that’s not the casual form of knowing! It’s the deeply intimate and personal way that we get to know someone. This definition is important because it helps us recognize how God is present in our everyday life.
Each week the study will focus on knowing God in different aspects of our life:
- Knowing God
- Knowing Him in your emotional life
- Knowing Him in your physical life
- Knowing Him in your relational life
- Knowing Him in your spiritual life
- Knowing Him in your intellectual life
Through trials and tests, questions and confusion, God gives us the opportunity to know Him more. We will learn about some of the many names of God—which serve as windows into His abilities, nature, and character—and how He reveals himself to us according to our circumstances.
There is a difference in knowing the Word of God and knowing the God of the Word. Let’s grow deeper with God so that we may be firmly rooted, unshakable, and flourishing for His Kingdom.
