God says He Will

August 20, 2023 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • 1 Kings 19, Genesis 3, Mark 1:35–39, Matthew 7:24–25

What if God shut up the Heavens and did not speak to us at all?

He actually did from the end of the Old Testament to the beginning of the New Testament. People back in the day must have longed to live in our day because we now have the opportunity to hear God’s voice. What would happen if we dedicated ourselves to listening to His small voice?

God says I Can

September 3, 2023 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • Acts 16:6–34

Most of us are familiar with the term “nothing good happens after midnight!” In Acts 16, the Apostle Paul and his companion Silas find themselves in a dark cell with no escape, but at midnight, something happened that changed the lives of those around them as they were listening for God’s voice. The ability to hear from God when He speaks builds a depth in our relationship with Him that often cannot be explained. Are we willing to surround ourselves with Him so we can hear His voice?

God says He Has

August 27, 2023 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • Luke 15:11–32, John 14:26–27, John 16:7–8

If you had to describe the Devil’s greatest tool against you, what would that be? Would it be the temptation to sin, the enticement to sin, or a distraction from serving God? Each of these are very real, but there is one that can hinder us from hearing from God, and that is “accusation.” He wants to accuse us of our past failures and sins, which can paralyze us from hearing truth from God.

God says I Am

August 13, 2023 • Pastor Mike Maiolo • Hebrews 1:1–3, John 10:27, Jeremiah 1:4–5, Ephesians 2:10

Most of us desire to hear God’s voice, but how do we do this when there are so many distractions that are competing for our time? The truth is that we have conversations all day long in our minds, so which voice will be allowed to lead us? The voice you believe will determine your actions.
