Hearing God in Community

Revival Life Church

In this sermon, Pastor Cameron Wright emphasized the importance of hearing God’s voice within the context of community. He highlighted that while God may speak to individuals, true discernment and growth often happen in a collective setting. Drawing from Numbers 11:29, where Moses prayed, “Oh, that all the LORD’s people were prophets,” Pastor Wright connected this ancient desire to the fulfillment at Pentecost in Acts 2:17, where God poured out His Spirit on all people, enabling them to prophesy.

Pastor Cameron shared a personal story about his church’s journey of prayer and perseverance, noting that prayers for a building acquisition were fulfilled after 30 years. This highlighted the importance of persistence in prayer and the necessity of trusting God’s timing.

He presented five ways community aids in hearing God’s voice: teaching believers to discern God’s voice, guiding and confirming His will, offering wise counsel, creating opportunities for corporate worship, and providing accountability. Pastor Cameron stressed that all forms of hearing God’s voice, whether through scripture, the still small voice, or prophetic words, require proper interpretation and application within the safety of a spiritual community.

He concluded by emphasizing that Christian life is inherently communal, as exemplified in Philippians 2:2, urging believers to be “of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit.” Pastor Cameron reminded the congregation that lasting spiritual growth requires commitment to community and accountability.

As you reflect on this message this week, consider the following:

1. How does God use the waiting period to shape our character and faith?
2. In what ways can you actively engage with your church community to grow in your ability to hear God’s voice?
3. Are there areas of your life where accountability could help you better discern God’s direction?
