Join Michael Bayne as he explores how Jesus pulled away from the noise in order to connect with God. Scriptures: Luke 5:12-16 Keywords: Time, Quiet, Solitude, Peace, Direction |

Join Adam Dressler as he begins our new series by looking at one of the most important ways that Jesus related to God: through the Word.
