How to Hear God | Week 2: God Speaks in Scripture
Have you ever thought of God as a friend who wants to know and be known by you? Why or why not?
It was said this week-end that the Bible is the foundational way of knowing God, not learning a book, but knowing God. Have you ever looked at the Bible that way? If not, how have you viewed the Bible?
Do you think you can develop an ongoing, fun relationship with God, like you have with friends?
The Bible is a key way that God speaks to us. God uses the Bible to lead us, to help us learn and to lift us up.
Can you identify which one of those things you need the most right now?
Read Psalm 139 together. Actually have 2 different people read Psalm 139 outloud from a different translation of the Bible. Do you know there are many different translations out there? Try New English Version and also try The Message. Talk through all the different things that God is saying to you as you read that Psalm.
Hearing from God can feel confusing. Like, how do we even know its God speaking and not our own thoughts? The difference between our thoughts and God’s voice is scripture. The more we act out on what we hear in scripture, the more we will see God’s power at work in our lives.
