    Missed Calls, Part 2: Missing God's Will // Jamie Nunnally

    Are you like a deer in headlights when trying to determine God's will for your life—frozen, overthinking, afraid to make the wrong move? In this message, Lead Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares how to find peace, clarity, and confidence for your next step. God's will is not a puzzle to solve; it's a path to walk. Too many Christians are trying to crack a code, but God is asking us to surrender to a Shepherd. You can know God's will for your life. Ephesians 5:17 ESV: "Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Three WRONG ideas about God's will: Everything that happens is God's perfect will. - wrong There's a difference between God's permissible will (what He allows) and His perfect will (what He desires). While God is in charge, He does not directly cause every event. Humans have free will and can act apart from God's will, and Jesus calls Satan the god of this world. 1 Timothy 2:4 NLT ...   If God desires all people to be saved, yet not all are saved, then not everything that happens is His perfect will.God's will is permanently set. - wrong Jeremiah 18:7–8 NLT ....  Though God is in charge, He allows people's response to influence what He does. God's sovereignty does not cancel your responsibility, nor is it threatened by your participation.Don't do anything unless you're 100% sure it's God. - wrong God usually gives direction while we're in motion, not frozen. Even God can't steer a parked car—you apply the gas while He turns the wheel. Acts 16:10 NLT ....  God guides walkers more than watchers. How to walk in God's will: Search the written Word. The Bible reveals God's general will; the spoken word reveals His specific will—but never contradicts Scripture. Psalm 119:105 ESVWalk closely with the Lord. The Bible gives principles; intimacy reveals your path. Romans 12:2 NLT ... Don't make knowing God's will your goal; make knowing God your goal.Focus on who you're becoming. Matthew 6:33 ESV ... We want a map; God is building the man. If you're spiritually mature, trust your decisions. God isn't raising dependent toddlers but mature sons and daughters who know His heart. 1 Corinthians 2:16 NLT; Psalm 37:4 ESVIf you miss it, trust God to reroute. Isaiah 55:7 NLT: A wrong turn doesn't have to be your final destination. God is better at rerouting your life than you are at messing it up. Conclusion: Remember maps? But better than a map is traveling with someone who's already been there. That's how walking with God works. When His will becomes your will, He illuminates your path—what looked confusing becomes clear, what seemed impossible becomes attainable. You don't need to know everything about the road when you know the One riding with you. God has a will for your life. Are you learning to walk it with Him?

    Missed Calls, Part 1: Missing God's Voice // Jamie Nunnally

    God still speaks. Some say He only speaks through the written Word, yet that Word reveals a God who speaks today. John 1:1 Jesus is the Word of God, and words communicate. God's silence isn't the problem—our sensitivity is. God gave you the ability to hear His voice. 1 Corinthians 2:9–12; Romans 8:16 You have a built-in receiver for God's voice. The question isn't "Is God speaking?" but whether you are discerning His messages. What does God's voice sound like? God is Spirit and speaks to your spirit, bypassing natural hearing. 1 Kings 19:11–12 His voice often sounds like your thoughts—but from a different source: subtle, spontaneous, persistent thoughts that remain. You may have been hearing Him for a long time. Why do we miss it? Too much noise (Psalm 46:10 NLT) – Distraction drowns direction. Not a speaking problem, but a listening problem.Wrong expectations (2 Kings 5:9–11 NLT) – We look for mystical while God gives practical steps.Unsubmitted areas (James 1:5–7 NLT) – Sometimes we don't want to hear; we want endorsement, not guidance.Confusing voices (1 Timothy 4:1 NLT) – Not every voice is God's.God's voice vs. Satan's voice God leads; Satan pushes. God clarifies; Satan confuses. God comforts; Satan frightens. God encourages; Satan discourages. God stills; Satan rushes. God convicts; Satan condemns. God corrects direction; Satan attacks identity. The fruit reveals the source. How to hear God (like answering a call): Ask – James 4:2Draw near – James 4:8; Exodus 3:3Pause and listen – Mark 9:7 (prayer is being with, talking to, and listening to God)Recognize His voice – John 10:27 (it aligns with Scripture)Share it – Proverbs 27:9 (real revelation welcomes accountability)Closing Like airplane mode blocks calls, distraction, sin, and busyness disconnect us spiritually. God is still speaking—you may just need to reconnect. Slow down, draw near, get quiet, and say, "God, I'm listening." God is speaking. Are you learning to listen?
