Journey is a place of action, a place where we don't just talk about service, we serve God, each other and the world. Service though, when at its healthiest, comes naturally from a heart connected to the heart of God. In this series we will examine several stories from the scriptures where men and women of faith had powerful, life-altering encounters with their Creator. Jacob, Elijah, Samuel and Hannah in the midst of sorrow, doubt, despair, regret and fear find themselves in relationship with a God who challenges, wrestles, comforts and encourages. It is out of those experiences where God chooses to draw near to His creation that we find a renewed commitment to live out our faith in service, and rediscover purpose.
