The Beloved Church

This past Sunday, Austin Presnell taught from 1 Samuel 3. Eli heard God’s voice. Samuel listened to God’s voice. Sometimes our ability to listen to God’s voice is less about our ears and more about our heart. We can often be so focused on wanting to hear God’s voice. Eli had no problem hearing God’s but he wouldn’t listen. What if we shifted our desire to hear God speak and more to obey when He do...

Luke 24:1-7 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women b...

The second time the Father pronounces Jesus his beloved son, he adds, very importantly, "... Listen to him". Jesus is not the king we expect, but he is the King that we need him to be. When we lay down our ideas about who Jesus should be, and listen to the Jesus that is, we get a picture of the good life.
