Intro

-Our new series is titled “Voice of God”

-For the next few weeks we will be unpacking what the voice of God sounds like and what listening to His voice means for our lives.

-This series is probably going to be one of the more important and relevant group of conversations will we have had as a community up to this point.

John 10:27 NIV

Leaving Good for Great

-The Voice of God is a subtle whisper inviting us to leave good for great.

-Also the painful but freeing reality we see in this passage is that we are sheep. We are not shepherds, we are not wolves, we are sheep.

-If you disagree with me, that’s fine, just hear me out and if you still disagree with me at the end of our time together please come talk to me.

What are you hearing?

-What we absorb affects what we do.

-TikTok for lent.

-Our lives are the sum total of our influences. The way we talk, dress, eat, everything is affected by our influences.

Does God know you?

-A relationship with God can’t happen with out conversation with God.

-God is not controlling, He allows us to choose if we will be known by Him or not.

-

Who do you follow?

-We may lose perspective from time to time but we must always remember and understand that at our BEST we are sheep.

-I’d rather be a sheep in God’s flock than a wolf roaming through life on my own.

-Story about how I got to where I am with Daybreak YA:
