Seminar
Becoming a Friend of God
with Richard Blackaby
Worship Leader, Michael O'Brien
May 8-10, 2023
Every Christian wants to have a relationship with God like Abraham – whom God called His friend. You may view God as your friend, but does He see you as His friend? Developing a closeness with God takes time, faith, and obedience. Journey through Genesis and be re-energized as you take steps toward deeper growth and greater intimacy with Him.
