Listening To God

Does God still speak today? How can we recognize God’s voice, understand spiritual promptings, and know whether the guidance we receive is truly from God?

Listening for God: Learning to Recognize God’s Voice in Everyday Life is a six-part Christian sermon series offering practical and biblical guidance for hearing God in the middle of everyday life. Together, we explore how God speaks through Jesus Christ, Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and trusted Christian community.

This series will help you:

  • Become more attentive to God’s presence and guidance
  • Move from simply reading Scripture to prayerfully listening
  • Recognize promptings that produce Christlike character
  • Seek wisdom from trusted members of the Christian community
  • Test what you hear through Jesus, Scripture, spiritual fruit, community, and humility
  • Move from listening to faithful action

You do not need perfect spiritual hearing or complete certainty before you can begin listening for God. You can begin with the prayer Samuel offered: “Speak, Lord. Your servant is listening.”
