Called to Listen

Are we truly hearing God's Word, or merely letting it pass through our ears? This message challenges us to dive deeper into the famous Shema from Deuteronomy 6:4-9. We're called not just to listen, but to love God with all our heart, soul, and might. This isn't about mere emotion, but about aligning our entire lives—our passions, daily activities, and resources—with God's will. The lesson reminds us that faith isn't compartmentalized; it should permeate every aspect of our existence. Just as we sharpen knives regularly, we're urged to consistently teach and live out God's Word in our homes and communities. This isn't about outward displays of piety, but about internalizing God's truth so deeply that it shapes our worldview and actions. As we reflect on this, let's ask ourselves: Is our faith merely intellectual, or is it transforming how we live each day?
