Hearing God’s Voice in a Noisy World (Psalm 19)

Are you truly hearing God's voice—or just following the loudest one around you? In this episode, Pastor Chris unpacks Psalm 19 to help us recognize the voice of God speaking through creation, His Word, and the Spirit. Learn how to filter out distractions, test what you hear, and grow in spiritual discernment so you can walk confidently in God's direction for your life.

Key Points:

1. Perceive the Voice of God through Creation – Psalm 19:1–6
    God’s glory is written across the sky. His creation speaks continually—even without words—to reveal His power, creativity, and presence (Romans 1:20; Isaiah 40:26; Job 38–41).
2. Prepare Your Life to Be Transformed by God’s Word – Psalm 19:7–11
    Scripture is God’s clear and trustworthy voice. It revives the soul, gives wisdom, and brings joy. It’s more precious than gold and sweeter than honey (2 Timothy 3:16; Proverbs 1:7).
3. Practice Discernment with the Spirit’s Guidance – Psalm 19:12–14
    Not every inner voice is from God. We need spiritual filters and scriptural truth to recognize what is really from Him. Discernment grows through humility, maturity, and time in the Word (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 8:14; 1 Timothy 4:2).
4. Live Responsively to God’s Revelation
    Don’t just listen—respond. God is calling us to live in worship, truth, and obedience. His voice should move us to action.

Personal Stories from Pastor Chris:
 Chris shares about a moment when a closed door in ministry became a new path forward. He also reflects on the beauty of creation during a youth camp sunrise and how it made God’s voice feel undeniable.

Notable Quotes:
 “Just because it’s on your heart doesn’t mean it’s God’s will—check it with Scripture.”
 “God’s voice gets clearer when you know His Word better.”
 “Creation glorifies God by doing what it was made to do. So should we.”

Actionable Takeaways:
 Am I open to hearing God’s voice or distracted by other voices and assumptions?
 Spend intentional time in God’s Word daily.
 Pray for a heart sensitive to the Spirit’s prompting.
 Use tools that help you engage Scripture regularly and deeply.
