Summary
As we continue our week on knowing God through experiencing him, today we’ll explore what it means and looks like to experience his voice. This can often be an intimidating topic. Many of us feel inadequate or even unable to hear the voice of God—but nothing could be further than the truth. I hope today you will feel the pressure or weight lift off your shoulders as you learn just how simple relationship with and knowing God truly is.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 8:47, and today's worship is Hide and Seek by First15 Worship feat. Nikki Moltz.
________
As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But when Monday morning rolls around we’re left thinking:
“Now what?” “How do I find and keep a daily connection with my Creator on my own?”
At First15, we know that meaningful worship isn’t just for Sunday. Every believer should be able to find a daily connection to God with fresh worship created specifically for their weekday.

| 1:14.3 | Whoever is of God hears the words of God. Just like when I seek true relationship with a person, a conversation must happen. When we seek to truly know God, |
| 1:20.8 | he talks with us. He's not a God who's silent, but a God who speaks to us in any and every way |
| 1:27.4 | he can. All throughout the New Testament, there's a God who's not a God who speaks to us in any and every way he can. |
