What if God speaks, and we don’t respond? Our response to God’s voice is just as important as our ability to listen to Him. It’s the difference between admiring what Jesus says and actually doing something about it. Responding to God’s voice can be risky, but it’s always worth it.
As we continue learning how to tune ourselves to God’s voice, we also grow in discerning what is true. When it comes to our decisions, beliefs, and purpose, we need to rely on Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and our community for discernment. Listen as Pastor Amy and Pastor Brent explore what Godly discernment looks like in everyday life.
What could happen if we had the same discipline in our lives for listening to the Spirit as we do for prayer and Bible study? The truth is, we can’t have life without the Spirit. We cannot hear God without the Spirit. We cannot come to God without the Spirit, and the Spirit of God is who ties it all together.
