How Do I Listen Well?

TNLC Sermon Podcast

If God is speaking… am I actually listening?

Hearing from God isn’t always about volume—it’s about posture. In this message, Pastor Clayton Bell walks through 1 Samuel 3 and the story of young Samuel, who had to learn to recognize the voice of God. The same is true for us.

With all the noise in our world, how do we dial into the voice that matters most?

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

- How to position yourself to hear from God

- Why listening requires consistency, not just crisis

- How Scripture, community, and maturity help us discern God’s voice

- What to do when you’re not sure if it’s a yes, no, or freedom to choose

How to pray: “Speak, Lord—your servant is listening.”

Key Scriptures:

- 1 Samuel 3:1–14 — “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.”
