Show Notes Chapter Markers

Going to God in prayer is meant to disable all the signals coming from our culture, and even quiet the noise in our heads. It stops the outside voices clamoring for our attention, and forces us to be still. Why? Because we are not actually in control of our lives; and God wishes to communicate with us and even navigate our way in the world.

The sermon today is titled "When He Doesn't Answer?" It is the third installment in our series "Airplane Mode." The Scripture reading is from Psalm 25:12-21 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on January 21, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve. This sermon is filed under GROW: Spiritual Disciplines.
