Do You Want to Hear God's Voice?

Do you really want to hear God’s voice?In today’s sermon from St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church in Denver, we explore what Scripture actually shows about hearing God clearly. Many Christians long to hear God’s voice with certainty—but the Bible reveals that hearing Him perfectly often leads to difficult obedience.In 1 Samuel 16, the prophet Samuel risks his life to obey God’s command to anoint David as king. In John 9, Jesus heals a blind man and reveals the works of God. And earlier in John’s Gospel, Jesus “had to go through Samaria,” taking an unexpected path because the Father had work for Him to do.When God speaks, obedience may take you the long way around. It may place you in uncomfortable situations. But when we ignore His voice, others may miss the miracle God intended to bring through us.This sermon explores:• What the Bible actually teaches about hearing God’s voice• Why obedience to God often leads to difficult or dangerous situations• How Samuel, David, and Jesus model faithful obedience• Why Christians must prioritize prayer, Scripture, and God’s presence to discern His voice• How God still works through His people to reconcile the worldIf you truly want to hear God speak, Scripture teaches that you must draw close to Him—daily seeking wisdom, prayer, and discernment.St. Augustine of Canterbury Anglican Church, Denver, Colorado.
