Do You...: Hear?

December 9, 2006 (Weekend Service)

Do you hear God speaking to you about your connection with him, about your spiritual journey, or maybe a redirection of that journey? Like the shepherds who on that first Christmas heard directly from the angels and shared the good news that was for all the people, we should be moved to action to make an impact with our personal lives. Very close to home, in urban and suburban areas, are people who live with poverty, addiction, and disease. What will it take for you to commit personally when you hear God speaking to you about making a difference in your neighborhood and in your surrounding community?
