Bible study, fellowship, and prayer are different forms of spiritual communication. Through Bible Study I am hearing from God. By praying I am communicating with the Father. Through fellowship I speaking to others believers the wonderful truths about God and I at the same time hear from them. While by evangelizing I am sharing the truths concerning Jesus to those who are not yet saved.

Through the Bible, God speaks to us. Through our fellowship with others, we grow. And through our prayers, God listens to us.

All of these are essential to spiritual communication and formation. Bible study is important so that we are not just in Gods living Word but that so we understand it and how it all relates to us and to those around us. It gives us practical tools for our lives and families, and for our work. It also gives us peace as we read about all of the promises and prophecies fulfilled. It is where we can draw our hope.
Fellowship with other believers is critical for us. Doing life alongside those who will continually point us and lead us back to the Cross is so important. Fellowship and celebrating the goodness of God and all that He has in store for those who love Him is part of how and why we were created.
Prayer and conversation with our Father is His greatest desire- to be in relationship and communion with each of us. Our prayer life is important so that we are ready and prepared each day to do life with the Lord at our side. And praying for others to know the great love of Jesus is a gift we can share. -
Bile Study is like conversing with God by getting to know Him better. Sitting and listening to His answers after we have poured out our heart before Him in prayer. These are vertical communication. Horizontal is side to side between each other, gathering in our common love and unity in Christ

Spiritual life is a life of relationships, and relationships of any kind are vitally connected to on-going communication: from God, to God, to believers, and to the those who need to know Christ.
