GOD SPEAKS

Living Stones Series: First Published in All Around Old Bridge Publication – June 2025, Pastor Lloyd Pulley

In a world bursting with noise – buzzing phones, breaking news, blogs, reels, and endless scrolling – it’s easy to miss the one voice that actually matters. Yes, God’s! He has spoken through creation, through the prophets, and through His Son, Jesus, the ultimate Word of God! And He is still speaking today through His Word, the Bible!

Romans 10:17 says: “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Faith isn’t something that magically appears because we feel inspired and it isn’t something we muster up inside of ourselves by a sheer act of will. Faith grows as we hear what God has said in the Bible and as we witness His faithfulness in our lives!

As a young lad, the prophet Samuel kept thinking his boss, Eli, was calling him. But it turned out it was the Lord calling him (1 Samuel 3), and once Samuel tuned in to the Lord’s voice, his life – and his nation – were changed forever!

The truth is, God still speaks to those who are willing to listen. His Word, the Bible, doesn’t just inform; it transforms. It convicts, comforts, instructs, and awakens. It’s not about religious hype or trending hashtags – faith comes by hearing Him.

In an age where truth is treated like a choose-your-own-adventure novel, maybe it’s time we dust off the actual Book!

Pause. Listen. Open His Word. When God speaks, faith is born, hearts are changed, and hope is restored.

We welcome all to join us for worship on Saturday or Sunday, as we prioritize teaching the Bible at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge (ccob.org) or listen in to Bridging the Gap with Pastor Lloyd on The Bridge 91.9 FM, Monday-Friday at 7:00 am and 7:00 pm.
