  <itunes:subtitle>Whether prompted by a particular circumstance or a new season of life, we may find ourselves asking, “Why am I here?” In today’s message, Noah Bates teaches on this question of purpose by first looking the question of identity: Who does God say we are? And once we understand who we are in Christ, what role are we called to fulfill as Christians in this world?

Matthew 5:13-16 (NLT) “You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. “You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. </itunes:subtitle>

  <itunes:subtitle>God desires a close relationship with us, which is why He still speaks today. He reaches us in many different ways, but one of the most common requires a certain posture on our part. This week, Pastor Brian builds on last week’s message by teaching us how to position both our hearts and our lives to better hear God’s voice.

1 Kings 19:12 (NLT) And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.

1 Samuel 3:10 (NLT) And the Lord came and called as before, “Samuel! Samuel!”
And Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening.”</itunes:subtitle>
