Voice of Truth

What are we missing out on when we settle for the next quick encouragement instead of waiting on the voice of the Lord?In an age of endless voices — teachers, preachers, podcasts, devotionals, inspirational posts, and now AI-generated content — we have to ask:Do we actually know the voice of the Lord, or are we just familiar with it? When was the last time we truly heard from Him? Are we afraid of silence?Drawing from John 10, 1 John 4, Luke 9, 1 Samuel 13, Ephesians 1, and 2 Timothy 3-4, this message walks through the cost of hearing the Shepherd's voice, and why waiting on Him is worth more than any quick word from a lesser source.Through the cautionary story of Saul, who couldn't bear the silence and forced himself past the waiting, and the example of David who wrote songs of waiting that endure to this day, we're invited into the costly beauty of being intent on God's voice."His voice. His Word. His promises. His truth. His hope. His encouragement. This is what I'm after."
