Summer Breeze 3 of 4

Introduction: We have seemingly lost the capacity for the reality that God still speaks.

-God speaks in the stillness… Reference John 20:11-18, I Samuel 3:8, I Kings 19:22

-God speaks through thunder… Reference Exodus 20:18-19, Job 40:9

Transition: Whether it’s in a still small voice or in the thunder of a storm, God still speaks!

God’s voice is so majestic that we cannot limit it to any single style, shape, or sort.

Exposition: What value doe’s the voice of God possess that’s a present to us?

God’s voice brings VICTORY.  “The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon” (verse 5). Reference Isaiah 2, Isaiah 55:11

God’s voice brings JOY. “He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox” (verse 6).

God’s voice brings FIRE.  “The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire” (verse 7). Reference Isaiah 1:25, Isaiah 6

God’s voice brings LIFE.  Reference Luke 7:11-17, Mark 5:21-43, John 11

Conclusion:“The Lord sits enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king forever” (verse 10). God makes his throne above any storm, making the last great word of this selection PEACE.
