Every word He spoke, every choice He made, every step He took flowed from deep communion with His Father. In this message, we’ll uncover Jesus’s daily rhythms for hearing God clearly—through prayer, Scripture immersion, and intentional time in God’s presence.\n1. Immersion & Encounter\nPurpose: Help members recognize the difference between reading for information vs. transformation.Leader Tips:\nAsk for examples of times they’ve read Scripture and felt personally met by God.\nEncourage them to be honest if Bible reading feels more like a checklist—this creates room for practical ideas.\nFollow up with: What’s one change you could make to your approach this week to read expectantly?\n2. Memorization & Meditation\nPurpose: Help people reflect on which part of their engagement with Scripture is strong and which needs growth.Leader Tips:\nBriefly explain each phrase from Kevin DeYoung:\n_Submitting your will = Letting Scripture set your priorities.\n_Committing your brain = Learning it deeply, understanding context.\n_Humbling your heart = Being ready to obey even when it’s hard.\nAsk them to pick one area to strengthen and share a practical step—e.g., choosing one verse to memorize this week.\n3. Response & Supplication\nPurpose: Connect Bible engagement to life application and prayer.Leader Tips:\nEncourage them to think of even small ways Scripture has moved them to action—like a phone call, an apology, or a praise prayer.\nAsk the group to commit to one specific response from their Bible reading this week.\nOffer to follow up next time with a quick “How did it go?” so there’s gentle accountability.\n#HearingGod #NewSongChurch #FriendsTalk #John15 #HearingGodsVoice #Faith #BibleTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLiving #JesusIsSpeaking #YouCanHearGod #HearingGod #SpeakLord #VoiceOfGod #LivingWord...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bnHuiqv1vzbVKS3-CGSScUOuOFSAm4CGeToUp1bnpos/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8zOTVl/MTRhMTgxNzM4MDZl/YmFlNGVmYzkzMGRm/MjkyZi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
