In our transformative journey through "The Voice: How to Hear the Voice of God," we arrive at our seventh sermon, "Recognizing Through Relationship," illuminated by the primordial story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. This narrative, more than any other, encapsulates the essence of a direct, unmediated communion with the Divine. Here, in the cool of the day, amidst the rustle of leaves and the whisper of the wind, Adam and Eve walked with God, hearing His voice as a familiar and comforting presence. This sermon dives into the heart of recognizing God's voice through the intimacy of relationship, just as Adam and Eve did. It challenges us to consider the depth of our own walk with God, inviting us to cultivate a garden-like space in our lives where such conversations can occur. Through "Recognizing Through Relationship," we'll explore how familiarity with God's character and trust in His goodness are cultivated not in the grandiose moments of life, but in the daily, deliberate walk of faith and obedience. Let us rekindle our passion for God's presence, learning anew to recognize His voice in the tranquility of our personal Eden, where He meets us, speaks to us, and walks beside us.

Ps. This sermon series was preached at The Hub in Opelika, AL in the fall of 2016. It was inspired by a sermon series preached by Pastor Robert Morris of Gateway Church Southlake, TX.
