Estimated you watched approximately 52,500 ads on TV alone each year. (@ average 30sec 437 hours of advertising or 18 days 24/7).

So in this deluge of information and advertising, where so many people are clamouring for our attention to buy something or do something, to go somewhere.

1. How do we know God is trying to say something?
2. If he is, Is it important to hear what he is saying?
3. and if so, how do we hear his voice in all that noise?

1. Because God is The Communicator and we are made in his image.
The fact we love to communicate indicates that God is a communicator. Facebook, twitter, phone,
The story of the Bible is the story of God’s constant and continual communication with mankind.

Hebrews 1:1-2 begins: Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets.  And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son.

God is continually seeking man out to talk with him.

So as Martin Luther said, you are created for dialogue:
A phone is created for communication not as a calculator, though it can do that also. So are you created for communication.

2. It is important to hear what he is saying?
Have you ever lost your mobile phone? How did you feel?
What if someone is trying to get hold of me? What if something important has happened? What if I have been left a important message? A client is ringing me?

But what about God? Is it important to hear what God is saying?

• Only if you want to get to know your real father, for he is constantly leaving you messages
• Only if you want to understand what he thinks about you
• Only if you want to know why your here and what you were designed and shaped for.

God, your creator, designer, the one who said I shaped you in your mother womb, there is a race marked out for you. Why you’re here and what are you supposed to be doing.

Christianity is called a revealed religion. The revelation refers to God’s self disclosure to men and women. A revealing of who he is, who you are, what he has done and what we can do to live our best life.

• Supernatural
• Jesus incarnation
• The Word (read and spoken)
• Holy Spirit

Jesus is the word and to reach all men and women of all ages, God had written the word of God, the Bible. It is as perfect and true as Jesus himself.

3. How do we hear his voice in all that noise?
To hear God we have to make a decision we want to hear what he has to say.
The main way God speaks is through the Bible.

• The Bible is not so much a collection of facts about God, but a collection of letters from God to you.
• A collection of facebook posts to you revealing God’s heart, desire and purpose for you.
• It is his twitter update to you about your life and future.
