Love is essential. John has written about this previously in his gospel account, when Jesus urged his disciples to love one another. John revisits this call to love one another strongly to his dear children in the faith.

John makes many comparisons throughout his letter, telling believers how they can know they are true children of God. The first of these is that they walk in the light and not in the darkness: choosing holiness over sin and yet being quick to repent when they do sin.

The Church is still young and facing many pressures, not the least of which is a departure of many from the faith. John writes to strengthen Christians in the face of many troubles and urges them to hold fast to their faith - and he begins by bringing their eyes to the Lord Jesus Christ: The Word made flesh!

Creation has been one of God's biggest billboards since day one, but we grow familiar with it as we live amongst it. How can we see the created world afresh and hear our Father's voice calling to us on a daily basis?

There's no such thing as a lone wolf in Christianity - God desires us to be in community and will speak to us through others in that community. We're here to speak the truth in love and be conduits for God's voice to one another.

Perhaps the most difficult way to pin down and also the least understood - God speaks to us through our hearts through impressions, thoughts and instincts. But how can we tell it's God speaking and not just our own thoughts or selfish desires?

One of the gifts of the Spirit used to build up the church is the gift of prophecy. This isn't future-telling, but speaking God's words to encourage and build others up. How do we use this biblically within the body of Christ?

Jesus did not wait for people to come to him. He went through the towns and villages, proclaiming the good news and healing the sick. In this message, Jenny Gill encourages us to take seriously the mission Jesus has given his people and to faithfully play our part in the harvest.

To know the Son, we must know scripture. Scripture is one of the primary ways God continues to communicate clearly and across time to his church.

As we begin a new series about discerning the voice of God, we look at the number one way Scripture says God speaks to us - through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
