Speak and Hear: Embracing God's Word in Today's World

In a society where feelings often overshadow truth, this message emphasizes the importance of speaking and hearing God's Word. We are reminded to prioritize Scripture over opinions and to proclaim the entire truth rather than just the popular parts. As believers, we must respect God's message and reject deceitfulness, responding to correction with openness. By preparing our hearts and minds to receive His truth, we align ourselves with God's purpose. Let's commit to preaching the Word, supporting speakers of truth, and seeking genuine understanding in a world full of distractions.
