Part 1: Humble Heart

Sometimes, we think of ourselves more highly than we ought to. Sometimes, we're harder on ourselves than we ought to be. Either way the answer is to approach God in humility. Humility allows God to speak true identity and worth into our lives and invites us to partner with the Holy Spirit in honest dependence on Him. This is the way to heart God hears and a heart that hears God.

Pillars of the Faith - Mother's Day

Women have always been pillars in the Jesus Community. Amy Hilliker explores what it means to be a pillar, someone that props up the House of God and declares "Jesus Christ is Lord." What does it look for us to grow in our discipleship to Jesus together and lead others to do the same? What kind of generational and eternal impact might we have? This is the blessing of pillars, and especially mothers in the faith who hold up the whole Church.

Part 4: Discerning God's Voice Together

One of the most important skills we can develop in our Christian journey is our ability to hear God's voice. The blessing of community is the freedom to learn this skill together and from others. We learn to discern God's voice with clarity as we practice in prayer and filter through the Scriptures and in community with trusted mentors and fellows in the faith.

Part 3: Expecting to Hear God’s Voice

What posture do you bring to prayer? What about to praise? Do you come expectant for God to show up and speak? Pastor Ryan looks at the story of the prophet Samuel first hearing the voice of God. The voice of God was rare in those days because God was not honored by the people at the time, but God came personally to speak to Samuel and Samuel found that his expectation to hear God's voice changed everything for Him. Will you tune into the voice of God today, expecting to hear His voice?

Part 2: Learning to Recognize God’s Voice

How do I know what I'm hearing is God? There are countless voices competing for our attention and devotion. But only one voice wants to lead us into good only, always. Other voices will insist, like the serpent in the Garden, that God doesn't actually want what's best for us. Other things will look good in our eyes, but they don't lead to life in the fullest. Only the voice of God sounds like that, and leads us there. As we spend time in His presence, growing in intimacy with Him, we learn His voice and are able to follow Him.
