The God Who Speaks

Apr 12, 2026    Pastor Chris Eshleman

This powerful exploration of prophecy reveals something extraordinary: God has never been silent. From the very beginning when God spoke light into existence, we see a pattern of divine communication that culminates in Jesus Christ. The message walks us through the structure of biblical revelation, showing how God established prophets as His spokespeople after Moses, yet always pointed toward someone greater. We discover that prophets weren't primarily fortune-tellers but God's attorneys, building His case and calling people back to faithfulness. The most stunning claim comes when we see Jesus presented not merely as another prophet, but as the exact imprint of God's nature, the Word who created the universe. Unlike Moses who saw God through a veil, or the prophets who received dreams and visions, Jesus speaks with absolute authority because He is in the bosom of the Father. This isn't just theological theory; it's deeply personal. When Jesus says His words will judge us on the last day, we're confronted with a choice: Will we truly listen to the God who speaks? The challenge isn't whether God communicates clearly enough, but whether we're willing to hear and obey, even when His word cuts deep and calls us to repentance.
