Explain how Bible study, fellowship, and prayer can be called different forms of spiritual communication.
-
We see how there are different practices of spiritual formation and communication throughout the Bible. God’s Word is a story that speaks to us about who God is, humanity’s purpose and nature, and how that comes together in our lives today as we walk with Jesus. Fellowship with other believers is mentioned throughout the themes of the Israelite communities and in Acts as the early church forms and flourishes. Scripture is clear that we are not intended to grow in faith and walk with God alone but in community with others. Prayer has various forms that we also see in Scripture and different traditions, especially various forms that new believers can grow through, and others that more mature christians can grow through as well. All of these practices can be different for each of us, as God has wired us uniquely to connect with him as well.

Well in Bible study you are coming together to study the true word of God and communicating truths from the word as you grow in understanding.
Fellowship is a time we grow in relationship with one another and opens up communication about things going on in our lives. In sharing we can put into practice the principles we learn from scripture and other believers who walk out the word.
Prayer is just basically spiritual communication between you and the Creator. Enough said
-
I am spiritually communicating to God through prayer, to other believers through fellowship, and receiving God’s communication through Bible study.
-
Bible study is a communication that aids us to know Who God is, who we are, the problem between us and God, what God has done about our sin problem, and how God wants us to relate with Him and others created in His image. Fellowship is communication that helps us to learn from the faith journey of other believers who has been on the path before or we are newly placed on the narrow path to life and to love one another as we are made for fellowship, and prayer is communication between us believers and our lovely God
-
Bible study is God communicating to us through His written Word. Fellowship is our living in community with other believers, encouraging one another and worshiping with one another – learning from each other’s experiences and study. And Prayer is our conversation with God, both our talking to Him, and listening to His Spirit.
