Are You Really Listening?

TNLC Sermon Podcast

Is it God’s voice you’re hearing—or just background noise? In a world full of voices, how do you make sure you’re tuned in to the right one?

In this message, Pastor Clayton walks through John 8 to show us how to listen for the voice of Jesus—and why so many miss it even while calling themselves believers. Jesus said, “Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God.” (John 8:47)

But what if you’re not listening? Or never truly belonged to Him in the first place?

In this message, you’ll learn:

- Why belief alone doesn’t equal discipleship

- How cultural Christianity can dull your spiritual hearing

- Why obedience opens your ears to God’s voice

- What it means to “listen gladly”

- How to know if you truly belong to God—or just assumed you did

Key Scriptures:

John 8:31 — “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings…”

John 8:44–47 — “You can’t hear me…”

John 8:36 — “So if the Son sets you free…”
