Sermon Passage: James 1:19; Pro 18:13

Text to Ponder: 1 Kings 19:11–13 The LORD said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. [NIV84]

Focus: Adapted from: 1 Sam 3:10; Re 2:7; Ps 29:1–2, 4; John 10:25–28; Rev. 5:12 (NIV84)

[Let us join Samuel who said,] “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

Yes, LORD, we are listening.

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic.

Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.

Jesus answered, “My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish.”
