Ultimately, the sermon emphasizes the importance of recognizing and responding to the Lord's call, leading us to worship and find peace amidst our struggles.
The Speaking Voice

He argues that the Voice of God is the fundamental force behind all existence, and that the Bible is not merely a historical document but a living Word that speaks to us today. Tozer encourages believers to cultivate a listening heart, recognizing that God's Voice is present and seeking a response from humanity. He warns against the distractions of modern life that drown out this divine communication and calls for a return to stillness and attentiveness to hear God's Voice clearly.
