ICEL The Communication of God’s Silence ICEL, Sunday May 6, Ron Mitchener

ICEL The Communication of God’s Silence Introduction: Silence does NOT NOT communicate! Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7 1 There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: 7 a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak,

ICEL 1. God’s Speaking and Revealing Examples in Scripture.... Hebrews 1:1-2 1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

ICEL 2. God's Silence Examples in Scripture.... Psalm 22:1-3 1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from the words of my groaning? 2 O my God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer, by night, and am not silent. 3 Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One; you are the praise of Israel.

ICEL 3. God Communicates through silence a. To condemn... b. To convict... c. To comfort... d. To make you silent and wait before Him...

ICEL Conclusion: God communicates through speaking, revealing, acting—and silence. His silence must not be confused with condemnation or approval of our particular life situations. God remains faithful in His silence!..... Do we trust Him? click

ICEL Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he. Psalm 146:6 the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them— the LORD, who remains faithful forever. click
