Hearing God's Voice

Hearing God's voice -- What does that mean?

We had a Service of Light/Evening Prayer for Wednesday night service as it is Lent. Pastor gave a message which was so clear and simple. He used the message that he had shared with the children at chapel earlier in the day. His message talked about Calvin and Hobbs and how much fun it is to have imaginary friends you can talk to. But he also talked about our friend Jesus and specifically how we talk to Him and how He talks back to us.

The message was simple -- one way we talk to Jesus is in our prayers and Jesus answers back in his Word. His Word may shape the thoughts that we have and the dreams we dream, but the clear response back from Him is always in Word and Sacrament.
