GOD? IS THAT YOU?
God speaks through His Word
How do we hear the voice of God today?To first answer the question “God is that you?”
We must begin by realizing
that God does still speaks to us today.
The book of Jonah begins in an exciting fashion --God’s self-
revelation to the prophet of Jonah
When the Word of the Lord comes to Jonah it is accompanied by two
imperatives:
a. Go
b. Preach against it
What we see through these imperatives is a God who notices, a God who is active, and a God who takes sin seriously.
Then we see a tragic decision by Jonah.
For some, we are not wrestling with the question of “God is that you?” We are faced with the question of “Will I obey?”
According to Jonah, how do we hear from God?
The primary way we hear God’s voice today is through His word.
The Word is
a. Inspired
i. It is true and it can be trusted
ii. It is the standard for righteousness
