Good Call :: WISE PEOPLE FOLLOW GOD’S GUIDANCE
You can have the best coach in the world, but does it really matter if you don’t follow their advice? This
week, we'll look at one of Paul's letters when he advised a church to listen to the Holy Spirit God gave to
them. His message about trusting God's leadership and learning to rely on the Holy Spirit helps us see
that wise people follow God's guidance.
