Hearing the Voice of God: Is God Still Speaking? Pastor Chris Sommer

In my vast pastoral experience (3 years), I have found that when people say that they clearly and audibly heard God tell them something, the reaction from others is generally not, “Great! Can you let us know what God told you?” More often the unspoken reaction is, “WEIRDO! We got a crazy one here.” This is not to say that God did not speak to the person, but our culture is naturally suspect because God does not seem to speak anymore, at least not in the way He did in the Bible. So is God still speaking, even today… and when I say today, I mean today, Sunday, January 12, 2020? Is He? Well, not to steal my own thunder, but yes, He is… even today.

WAYS TO GIVE

We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.
