Faith Community Church Of Hopkinton

Week 3 of the series "Listen & Learn". When it comes to hearing from God, the challenge is not getting God to speak as much as it is getting in a position to listen. We want answers, God is looking for submission. In the Gospels, Jesus would sometimes say, "Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear." This was Jesus way of saying we need to be receptive, willing to obey His teaching. Living in a state of rebellion means we won't hear God speaking because we are choosing to not listen. This explains why people often turn to God during times of crisis - feeling the pain of their choices, they are finally willing to listen. God wants us to surrender because surrendered hearts are listening hearts.
