Hearing the voice of God can always be a tricky subject. Many feel inadequate or

wounded when it comes to the topic of hearing God speak. Today we'll discover

the beauty and simplicity of God's longing for us to know his voice, just as you

know the voice of a parent, spouse, or friend.

Hearing from God is essential to encountering the Lord.

May you walk away today,

feeling more confident and equipped

for intimate relationship with Jesus.

Welcome to the First of Team Podcast. Our verse of today comes from Jeremiah 33, verse 3.

Scripture says,

Call to me and I will answer to you,

and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

I've spent so much of my life as a believer thinking that God was silent, or at least only spoke

through the Bible, others, and situations.

While God most definitely does speak in those ways, he also longs to speak directly to his children.

Scripture is laden with story after story of God's people hearing his voice and responding in obedience.

From the Old Testament to the New Testament,

God clearly speaks to his people. The question before us today is, will we make space to listen?

John 847 says, whoever is of God hears the words of God and John 1027 says my sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me.

We serve a God who desires his voice to be known.

God is not silent. He is not quiet. Our Heavenly Father longs to guide us, tell us his heart for us, and do life with us.

He's longing for a relationship with you filled with continual conversation.
