The Four Voices (2020)

What’s Going On Inside Your Head?

Colossians 2:8, Romans 8:5-8, John 8:44, John 14:26, Proverbs 4:23

We all know we have a running conversation with ourselves. But it’s not just “self-talk.” We’re not the only voice in the conversation! Altogether, there are four “other” voices constantly exerting themselves to shape what we think, say, and do. Not all of them are healthy.

Knowing the simple premise of this series can transform how you feel about getting up, starting your workday, going to the gym, making the most of your relationships with your wife and children, meeting with friends or strangers, your value as a person, and so many other situations. You will leave with a simple life-changing tool to help you take back control of the narrative in your head. Join Patrick Morley as we begin this new series that will help you learn, or renew, how to think like a Christian.

The Voice of the World

Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:8, Romans 12:2, 1 John 2:15-17, 2 Corinthians 10:5, Ephesians 2:1-5, Psalm 73

Every man you know is trying to move his life forward and make something of himself. But most of them also say, “It’s just hard.” The world is not your friend. The world wants you to doubt that Jesus Christ is enough to make you happy.

Join Patrick Morley and explore how the world is trying to get inside your head, how to keep it out, and how to affirm that Christ is enough for you. Whether or not you change the world, you don’t have to let the world change you

The World vs. The Word

Ephesians 2:1-3; 1 John 2:15; John 1:1-5,14; Habakkuk 1:9-11; Matthew 13:22,16:24-26; Ecclesiastes 2:24-26, 5:10-11; Luke 12:22-34; 1 Timothy 6:17

Are you a little down right now? Frustrated with your life, or even feeling ashamed of what you have or haven’t accomplished? You may be listening to the voice of the world in your head. Wrapped in self-help language or encouraging you to “Seize the day!”, the world creates a false hope of success based on a false premise of reality. The world’s way of thinking ultimately leads to anxiety and hopelessness. But there is a better way.

Join Brett Clemmer as he explores the contrast between the way of the World and the way of the Word, and find hope for a future that will allow you to be at peace no matter how turbulent the times.

The Voice of the Flesh

If you’re like most men, you feel a lot of pressure to come off as a spiritual, righteous, and good Christian. But you also know that you’re not the man that others think you are. Not really. And that may be okay for the general public. But we also need to know how to keep it real.

That’s why we hope you’ll join us this week as Patrick Morley explains why we keep sinning, helps us identify what triggers our own sinful cravings, and shares ideas that can help you further crucify the flesh. Join us!

Scriptures used in this lesson:
Jeremiah 17:9, Mark 7:20-23, Romans 7:15-25, 1 John 2:16, Galatians 5:16

Pressures of Flesh

When the superhero is needed, that means the villain is present. We are in a constant battle with flesh where in a world that is active and loud the voice of the flesh seems to become overbearing. Join Khayree Pender to discuss how we use our spiritual filters to separate the voice of the flesh and muzzle the voice of the flesh.

Scriptures used in this lesson:
Matthew 4:1-4; 5-7; 8-10

The Voice of the Devil

The devil wants to get in your head. Who is the devil, what does he want, and how do we get rid of him? Join Patrick Morley and get clear biblical answers to these and other questions about the power, tools, and limitations of the devil. You’ll learn or be reminded that God also has tools that will empower you to stand firm and resist the voice of the devil.

Scripture included in this study:
Revelation 12:7-12, Matthew 4:1-11, Ephesians 6:10-18

Satan: The Great Opportunist

A prowler. A deceiver. A snake. These are just some of the ways Satan is described in the Bible. What do these have in common? They are all opportunists, looking for a weakness in your defenses, ready to strike when the circumstances are right. The devil’s goal is to drive a wedge between you and God. He wants to use your failures to teach you lies about God and yourself. But that’s what they are: lies.

Join Brett Clemmer as he helps us realize that the silky smooth voice of Satan will do nothing but wreak havoc in our lives, relationships, and connection with God–and how you can achieve victory, even when you think you’re beyond redemption.

Scriptures included in this lesson:
1 John 2:15-17; Romans 7:14-25; Genesis 3:1-15; Romans 8:11,16-17, 38-39

The Voice of the Holy Spirit

There are three kinds of men: dead, defeated, and dangerous. So far in The Four Voices we’ve mostly been talking about the voices that bring death and defeat. In this lesson we’re going to make a hard pivot and talk about how men become dangerous. Seal Team Six may scare the Taliban, but nothing is more dangerous to the world, flesh, and devil than a man walking in the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

Join Patrick Morley and learn or be reminded how you can recognize the voice of the Spirit, experience more of His presence and power, and understand your part in being filled with the Spirit.

Verses referenced in this study: Titus 3:4-7, John 14:15-18, 26, Ephesians 5:18-20

My Voice is Enough

Going through life, we are faced with many decisions and rely on rapid responses. Oftentimes it is normal to respond to the loudest voice, which is not always be the best choice. But as we grow, we have to learn, instead, to lean on the voice of the Holy Spirit.

Join Khayree Pender as he explores how the Holy Spirit serves as a direct channel that we can trust–that all that’s being delivered has come from God. Learn how you can allow the Holy Spirit to serve as a great mediator and comforter while providing guidance and giving instructions.

Scriptures in this lesson: John 16:12-15

The Four Voices for Broken Men

We are all broken, each of us wounded and scarred in our own way. The possibilities for why are endless: poor self-esteem, self-importance, unhealthy distrust of people, paralyzed by fearful and anxious emotions, hypersensitive to negative cues, prickly and “always ready” to defend yourself, caring too much about what people think or not caring enough, feeling the need to always be in control, not respecting boundaries, past abuse, neglect, abandonment issues, attachment problems, sinful desires or behaviors, and other ongoing hurts and struggles.

Join Patrick Morley for a summary look at how the world, the flesh, and the devil create such brokenness, and how the Holy Spirit will heal and transform you. Join us! It’s going to be a great day!

Verses in this lesson: Ephesians 4:11-16, Luke 11:11-13
