    It’s one thing to hear the Word of God, but listeners must receive the Word of God and let it take root in their life.

    This variety in responses mirrors how we approach God’s call in our lives. Just as our greetings reflect our readiness to engage, the way we respond to God's call—much like Isaiah did—reveals our willingness to serve and our openness to His divine purpose for us.

    Introduction: Hello, everyone. Different cultures have unique ways of answering the phone, reflecting their values and traditions. For instance: Graham Bell’s invention is greeted with a simple “Ahoy” in English. Russians respond, “I’m listening.” The French ask, “Who is on the phone?” Italians ...read more

    Do You Get It?

    Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Jul 11, 2023
     | 1,519 views

    There is nothing that Jesus cannot do. But we can only get the message if we don’t let ourselves be distracted by trivia, and if our relationship with God is healthy.

    One of the reasons people loved to listen to Jesus was that he talked about things they knew about, scenes and events from their everyday lives. But the lives of the people Jesus talked to can seem very far away from our own, sometimes. His illustrations don’t always mean that much to us. What’s ...read more

    Listening is a posture of presence that communicates care; hearing words is not enough—true listening keeps hearts open and relationships alive.

    Let me start with something familiar.

     | 7,863 views

    Like a carnival ride, our modern lives seem to be spinning out of control. But busyness is the enemy of the spiritual life. As Elijah discovered, God is not in the busyness - the earthquake, wind and fire - but in the quiet whisper.
