Course Description
How does God speak, and how can we recognize His voice today? This course offers a biblical and experiential journey into hearing God—from the Garden of Eden to the Spirit-led life of the believer. Over five weeks, we will explore how God speaks, how we learn to listen, and how hearing His voice shapes both our life-work and work-life. We will walk through Scripture, and real-life experience to cultivate a life of intimacy and responsiveness to God's voice.
Course Format
The first 4 weeks will consist of 3-hour classes, each featuring two main teaching sessions. Each session will include 1 hour of teaching followed by group discussion, with a 20-minute break in between. The final week will be a 4-hour class, culminating in a time of reflection, sharing, commissioning, and prayer.
Learning Objectives
• Understand the biblical foundation for hearing God. • Recognize the role of the Holy Spirit in discerning God’s voice. • Learn to identify how God speaks in daily life and personal decision-making. • Reflect on how hearing God shapes mission and obedience. • Grow in confidence and clarity in responding to God’s voice.
