God Speaks Through His Word

How do you actually hear God in a world full of noise?In Week 1 of our Hearing God series, we lay the foundation for the most trusted, reliable way God speaks—His Word. This message isn’t about mastering a technique or unlocking a formula. It’s about posture. Humility. And learning to recognize God’s voice by truly knowing His character.We explore why truth isn’t something we define for ourselves, how our experiences can mislead us, and why Scripture isn’t primarily informational but deeply relational. Through the story of Samuel, we’re reminded that hearing God begins with a simple prayer: “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.”You’ll hear:Why the Bible holds ultimate authority in our livesHow to read Scripture through the lens of who it’s about, not just what it saysWhy proximity to Scripture isn’t the same as hearing from GodHow culture’s loudest voices compete with God’s voice—and how to filter themWhy anyone can hear from God, starting right where they areWhether you’re new to faith, feeling spiritually stuck, or wanting to hear God more clearly, this message will help reset your approach to Scripture and invite you into a deeper, daily relationship with Him.Challenge: For the next six weeks, open your Bible every day and pray, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.”Don’t give up.
