Hearing God's Voice Mar 28, 2022

Show notes

As we continue this series looking at different ways God speaks to us as his children, today we’re going to look at what it means to hear God’s voice. The idea of hearing the voice of God is something I get asked about all the time. And I think it’s because, honestly, it sounds kind of crazy! But Scripture and Christian History tell us clearly that God loves to communicate with his people.

So may he guide each of us into a fuller understanding of what it means to hear his voice, and may we grow in grace and confidence today to make space to simply listen to whatever it is God wants to say.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 16:13, and today's worship is Talking to Jesus by Elevation Worship & Maverick City.

There are two things you and I need most: secure connection and unconditional love.

It’s impossible to live with confidence unless we have the sense of self that comes from secure connection with our heavenly Father. And it’s impossible to fully love ourselves and others unless we experience and trust in the unconditional love of the one who gave us life.

We pray our printed devotionals, Closer and Love, help people like you experience the connection and unconditional love available to you in God every morning.

Everything changes when we live from a place of secure connection and unending love. Get your copy at supportfirst15.com!

God Speaks Through His Word Mar 27, 2022

Show notes

As we continue our series looking at different ways God speaks to us as his children, today we’re going to look at the role of Scripture in hearing God. The pages of Scripture contain so many amazing stories of how God spoke to his people. Within these stories we see the power of a people focused on following God’s leadership, and the destruction that takes place when people go their own way.

May God stir up our hearts to hear his voice through the pages of Scripture today. And may we align our hearts with the principles found in its pages.

Our Scripture for today comes from Deuteronomy 8:3, and today's worship is Always Good by The McClures.

THE EXPERIENCE OF HIS PRESENCE Mar 25, 2022

One of the greatest gifts of my life has been experience the presence of God. His presence is essential to experiencing and knowing him.

THE EXPERIENCE OF HIS FREEDOM Mar 24, 2022

Show notes

Today we’ll explore the experience of God’s freedom as it relates to our identity and what we believe about ourselves. Many of us have yet to truly taste the freedom available to us through the finished work of Christ. There is nothing else like it in the world. It is my prayer you are liberated today, and that your thinking toward yourself changes and in result changes your actions. Christ said his work was finished on the cross, and it’s about time we start living in the new reality he instated for us.

Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 6:1-4, and today's worship is Worth It All by First15 Worship feat. Magen Thurman.

PARTNERING IN HIS PURPOSES Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Today we’ll explore the concept of partnering with God in his purposes in the earth. God is already at work all around us. He is asking us today to have eyes to see it, and step in with him to see his will fulfilled in the earth. As we assess our hearts today, may you go forward with a deep sense of purpose and calling. Everything with God starts and ends with relationship, and he simply wants to co-labor with you.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 Peter 2:9, and today's worship is Build Your Kingdom by First15 Worship feat. Emily Huffaker.

THE EXPERIENCE OF HIS PEACE Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

Life this side of heaven is plagued with all kinds of stress and anxiety. This time of year can be especially stressful too. None of us is immune to this reality, but thankfully we have Jesus who the Bible tells us is himself our peace. What a beautiful comfort we have found in him. May you lose yourself in Jesus today and allow him to wrap you in his peace afresh. Bring whatever fears, stresses or worries you have to the risen Christ today, and experience the very real breath of heaven.

THE EXPERIENCE OF HIS VOICE Mar 21, 2022

Show notes

As we continue our week on knowing God through experiencing him, today we’ll explore what it means and looks like to experience his voice. This can often be an intimidating topic. Many of us feel inadequate or even unable to hear the voice of God—but nothing could be further than the truth. I hope today you will feel the pressure or weight lift off your shoulders as you learn just how simple relationship with and knowing God truly is.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 8:47, and today's worship is Refreshing by First15 Worship feat. Nikki Moltz.

GOD WANTS TO BE KNOWN Mar 19, 2022

Show notes

As we spend this week wholeheartedly seeking to know God with all we are, we’ll take time today to experience God’s love for us. We all may live with the head knowledge that God loves us, but go long spurts of time without actually experiencing God’s love. God’s love is most radical and life-changing upon encounter, and it’s my hope today you’ll press into him and really feel first hand yourself how much God truly loves you.

Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 5:5, and today's worship is Your Love Is A Well by First15 Worship feat. Rachel Denison.
