And I Heard Him Say

Learning to Recognize God’s Voice

January 7, 2024 • Byron L. Cogdell • 1 Samuel 3:1–9

Pastor  @byronlcogdell  preached the first installment of our #SpeakLord Sermon Series about learning to recognize the voice of the God who speaks.


Things to meditate on:

1. Before we seek another word from God, be sure to know the word of God.

2. Sometimes the people of God help you recognize the voice of God.

3. The life-changing word that we seek can be on the other side of the invitation to speak.


How we can make this worth it in our lives:

- Learn to hear God's voice more clearly by being in community with Christians who already know the voice of God.

- Pay attention to the disruptions that may be God getting your attention so that you might listen more intently.

- Invite God to speak into your life through prayer and meditation on the Word of God

1. GOD USES SILENCE TO TELL US HOW MUCH WE NEED HIM IN OUR HEARTS 2. GOD USES OUR SUFFERING TO TELL US HOW HIS WAYS ARE GREATER THAN OURS. 3. GOD USES THE WORLD HE CREATED TO TELL US HOW MUCH WE CAN TRUST THAT HE IS IN CONTROL. Practice: Engage in listening prayer: - Find a silent place and embrace it - Breathe deeply and deprive your body of external comfort - Ask the Spirit to speak to you - Wait on the Lord
