Hearing

About this episode

The episode explores the importance of hearing God to obey Him, focusing on the relationship with God and the Atoning Messiah.

"Accepting the Lord" (Psalm 2 & Psalm 24) involves exactly that: we come to be "saved" (in right standing with God) when we "accept (God as) The Lord" of our lives. We live in a genuine 1-on-1 Theocracy, not merely in theory. We cannot obey our King until we hear him. Somehow, some way, we need to come know we have "shema'd" (heard) so we can "shema" (obey). We explore our relationship with God and with the Atoning Messiah in some depth this way today. May it be for shalom!
