Have you ever wondered if a dream, a feeling, or a whisper in your heart is really from God? This Sunday, we’ll explore the important spiritual practice of discernment, learning how to listen carefully, test what we hear, and seek God’s guidance amidst life’s noise. While not every dream or thought comes from God, Scripture reminds us that God does speak, sometimes in ways that surprise us.
We’ll journey through the story of Joseph, a young man who received powerful dreams from God but faced rejection and confusion when he shared them with others. Joseph’s story teaches us that even when God speaks clearly, it can be hard to understand or to know how to respond. Through his example, we’ll learn practical ways to discern God’s voice by checking if what we hear aligns with Scripture, brings peace, bears good fruit, repeats over time, and is affirmed by our community.
This message invites you to reflect on what God may be saying to you, whether through dreams, feelings, or quiet nudges, and to find the courage to listen, discern, and step forward in faith, trusting that God’s voice is trustworthy, even when it’s not easy.
Best,
Cynthia
