Learning to Listen

Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry

We started a new teaching series called "Learning To Listen" in which we are exploring how to hear the voice of God and what He sounds like. We typically struggle to hear God for reasons like, our life is too noisy, our schedules are too busy, we aren’t paying attention, and we don’t know what His voice sounds like. For many people sadly believe that God’s voice brings shame, condemnation, and fear. But the truth is, the voice of God is patient, kind, humble, others centric, and gracious. The voice of God is powerfully, purposefully, and piercing. The voice of God brings life. We will continue to explore how God will speak to us (if we listen) through prayer, scripture, people, and circumstance/surroundings. Below are a few take aways from the message.

-God speaks to us not so much to give information but to create intimacy.

-If you don’t turn down the noise of this world, you will never truly know God.

-Communication is all about connection.

Remember that God likes to speak in a whisper so we will get close to Him. So continue to look for God, lean-in to listen, and live it out with love.
