I find that I have a difficult time hearing God because I am often just not listening. Like being in a crowed room where everyone is talking at once, it is sometimes difficult to make out God’s voice amongst the chaos. It is not that I don’t want to listen it is just that I am too busy, or too tired, or too x, y, x. There are all sorts of reasons we tend to come up with as to why we are not hearing.   We need to work on listening.

Listening is not a very exciting thing to talk about. It is often considered quite passive, yet it is vital if we are to accomplish all that God is calling us to do. We can be zooming in the wrong direction, not relevant to God’s purposes, and doing things in our own strength, and the results (or more likely lack of results) show up. But when we listen we begin to not only accomplish things , but we accomplish the right things at the right times.

This week we are going to be talking about “NEXT: Three Significant Ministries.” We will be exploring some of the opportunities God is calling us to, and answering the question: “Am I Listening?”

See you at church,

Pastor Chris
