Samuel & Saul: Hearing God's Voice (1 Samuel 3:1-11)
What does it mean to hear the voice of God? While Samuel was one who heard and responded to the voice of God, Saul was too enamored with the voices of others. In this sermon, we’ll find out how we can know what it means to hear and respond to God.

Do You Know His Voice?
Fourth Sunday of Easter Lectionary: Acts 2:42-47, Psalm 23:1-6, 1 Peter 2:19-25, John 10:1-10 John 10:4 “When he (the shepherd) has brought out all his own (sheep), he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.” Jesus also said of Himself in verses 11 and 14, “I am the Good Shepherd.” And so the question being asked in this morning’s message is, “Do you know His voice? ” As pointed as the question may be however, once we understand the context surrounding the story and look at it through the lens of Ezekiel 34, we discover in addition to Jesus declaring Himself to be the Good Shepherd, that there is a second question: “What kind of shepherd are you?” The Pharisees were supposed to be the shepherds of the flock and yet Jesus draws a comparison between good shepherds who “lay down their life for their friends” and bad shepherds (hired hands) that “abandon the sheep and run away” leaving them vulnerable to attack. It’s one thing to know that Jesus is the Good Shepherd which is very comforting to think about, but once we have acknowledged that, we have to probe a little deeper and ask ourselves, “When people look at me, do they see Jesus—the Good Shepherd? Do I care enough about those for whom Christ died, that I would be willing to lay down my life for them?” These are deep, penetrating, and convicting questions we must consider.

What Is That To You? You Must Follow Me
Life is a search for a voice we can trust -- a single voice that puts all other voices into quiet perspective, a voice that settles the loudness around us and speaks peacefully yet clearly and confidently. A voice we can follow. (Joseph Stowell, Following Christ, p. 3) Throughout this series of messages on Following Jesus we've been hearing that one voice that claims to be the voice we should follow.

Abraham - led one step at the time
The Lord will lead us one step at a time. If we do not take the first step, He will not give us the second step, and on and on and on like that. We have to take the step directly in front of us. Some steps are tests, if we don’t pass the test, we don’t get to move on to the next step. We don’t get the next direction until we pass the test.

Change the World... one life at a time
God has always had a voice! Even in the darkest days of human history, there has been a “faithful remnant” of His people who continued to hope, continued to trust, continued to pray and continued to walk in the steps of the Master. There may be days that we are tempted to give up the fight, to pack in our efforts to see the world become a better place…but today is not that day! As we head into a new calendar year, God is calling us, perhaps like never before to champion and leverage all the resources He has placed in our hands, to be used for the transformation of our world! Are you up for the challenge? Key Passage: Luke 3:4-6

Can You Hear Me Now?
We are wired for communication. However in our day of cell phones, email, instant messaging and seemingly endless other communication options most people in our culture tend to walk not hearing God's voice. God wants to speak to you. What does he want to say?
