Open Myself to God
This second installment in our “Your Turn Now” series at Ventura Lighthouse 805 Church; is all about the game Clue. If you’ve ever played Clue you know you could skip all the fact gathering and just place your guess right away… and if you’re wrong – lose. But it’s way more fun to play it out, discover clues and develop a whole view of the crime. That’s true of how we develop our relationship with God and live our lives in sync and purposed. We have to make room for Him to speak, direct, course correct, and fully develop His plans for us. Today follow along with Pastor Matt as he charts out how to make ourselves open to God and His presence in every aspect of our lives.
