How do you know when God is speaking?

In a world filled with noise, opinions, distractions, and competing voices, Jesus declared, “My sheep hear My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.” (John 10:27)

Join us as Pastor Maurice Chavez shares a powerful message on learning to recognize God’s voice through relationship, His Word, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and a life of obedience.

In this message, you’ll discover:
Why God’s voice is recognized through intimacy and fellowship with Him
How Scripture confirms and protects us from deception
The role of the Holy Spirit in guiding believers into truth
Why discernment grows through obedience
How God’s peace often accompanies His direction

The voice you trust determines the path you follow, and the path you follow determines the life you experience. Learning to hear God’s voice is not a spiritual luxury, it is a necessity for every believer.

Whether you’re seeking direction, wisdom, clarity, or confirmation, this message will encourage you to draw closer to the Good Shepherd and follow His leading with confidence.

Join us live and discover how to hear, discern, and obey the voice of God.

Are you growing spiritually, or do you feel stuck?

Many believers start their walk with God full of passion, excitement, and hunger. But over time, growth can slow down, progress can feel inconsistent, and spiritual life can begin to feel more like effort than transformation.

In this message, “Growing by the Spirit,” Pastor Maurice Chavez teaches from Galatians 5:16 and 2 Corinthians 3:18 on the essential role of the Holy Spirit in spiritual growth. The Christian life was never meant to be lived by human effort alone. Real growth happens when we learn to walk daily with the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit produces in us what we cannot produce on our own. He develops character, strengthens consistency, convicts our hearts, guides us into truth, and transforms us into the image of Christ.

If you have been trying harder but still feel stuck, this message will encourage you to stop relying only on willpower and begin depending on the Spirit of God.

Big Idea:
Spiritual growth is not achieved by human effort alone—it is produced by the Holy Spirit when we learn to walk with Him daily.

Key Scriptures:
Galatians 5:16
2 Corinthians 3:18
Galatians 5:22–23
Galatians 5:19–21
John 16:13
Romans 8:5–6
Galatians 5:25

In this message, you will learn:

How the Holy Spirit produces real spiritual growth
Why trying to grow without the Spirit leads to frustration
How the Holy Spirit guides, convicts, strengthens, and transforms you
Practical ways to grow in step with the Spirit every day

Spiritual growth is not about perfection—it is about partnership.

Before preaching this, take a moment to pray and ask the Holy Spirit what He wants to emphasize most for your church in this season.
