Listening For God Sermon Outling

Here is the basic outline for my sermon last Sunday

Why Do we listen for God?
-comfort
-direction
-to know God (Psalm 46:10)
-to develop our relationship

How do we hear/How does God speak?
-to us directly
-Scripture
-music
-books
-other people

How do we/should we respond to God's voice
-with a hard heart/doing things our own way
-with obedience
-active waiting/active listening (see my post a couple of weeks ago)
-with action

This is the outline. I was able to fill in my own story to highlight parts. I also look at the prophet Elijah and his story from 1 Kings 19.

The key points of the sermon are that God does speak to us in a variety of ways, we need to be listening, and that we must respond with obedience to what we hear.
