I Am With You In The Wilderness Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Jun 28, 2020

Psalm 34 is a gift from David to us. It gives us a rare and honest glimpse into the heart of a Godly man who was overwhelmed by fear and fatigue and for a moment panicked … just as we are being constantly being overwhelmed and worn down by what seems like a non-stop barrage of bad news lately.

It seemed like just another day in the sleepy little town of Gath. Merchants selling their wares in the little local market. People standing in front of the shops, discussing the latest news and gossip. Small town folks just going about another typical day … when “they” appeared. Now … any ...read more

Hearing God's Voice

Contributed by Neal Gracey on Nov 8, 2014

How do we know if God is speaking to us? How can I recognize God's voice? Does God still speak? Does God speak to me? There are 3 main voices we hear our entire lives...God's, Satan's, and our own. How do we know which is which?

Hearing God I will start with the example of Jeremiah the prophet. In the eyes of the world Jeremiah was a miserable failure. For 40 years he served as God's spokesperson to Judah; but when Jeremiah spoke...nobody listened. (pastors must feel that way at times) Jeremiah was poor and deprived. ...read more
