GOD SPEAKS WHEN WE ACTIVELY LISTEN

(Monday, Feb 8, 2010)              Jesus often complained that the people in His day listened without hearing (Mt 11:15; 13:9; Mk 4:9, 23; 8:18; Lk 14:35; etc.).  What parent hasn’t said, “Do you hear me?”  The problem isn’t a physical limitation in our ears, but a mental one of not paying attention to what is being said.  Listening is more than keeping quiet while another person talks.  Listening takes work and focus.

            Listening means to listen actively.  I do my best listening with a pencil and paper nearby.  I write down things to make sure I get them right and also to know what questions to ask.  Usually I start with some impressions, ideas or thoughts that I’ve learned to recognize as coming from God, no me.  I do this when working on sermons or lessons.  I also do it when counseling.  I journal some of these things that are of a more personal nature.  I like to write down prayers and what I feel God is telling me to pray for. 

            This means we must listen expectantly, in eager anticipation of hearing from God.  “Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3).

JESUS’ FINAL MEAL

 Authentic re-enactment, audience involvement, full meal as Jesus had it when He changed the Passover into the Lord’s Supper

 5 PM SATURDAY, MARCH 27

$8 per person (maximum of $25 per family)

Reservations required by February 28

 Celebrate Jesus’ last meal on earth as He took the Passover and changed it into the Lord’s Supper.  This will be an evening of learning, growth, fellowship and worship.  Rev. Dr. Jerry Schmoyer has been doing this presentation since 1985.  He will dress in as a Jew in Jesus’ day and will explain and reproduce all that was said and done on that special night so many years ago.  There will be models, visuals, videos, Power Point, a lot of good music, a full meal similar to what Jesus and His disciples ate, and group participation.  Each one present will see what the disciples saw and do what the disciples did that night. 

These devotions will be available on our web site http://www.mainstreetbaptist.org.  Click the link or go directly to http://www.mainstreetbaptist.org/last-supper-devotionals/ .  If you prefer you can ask me for a CD with the devotions or for a hard copy – 30 bound pages. 

 If you would like a hard copy make a not on your registration and make sure it is received by Feb. 10. Each family will make their own matza and bring an assigned dish to share with the others at their table.  This helps make the experience real.

Children are welcome.  There will be a variety of activities and many visuals to keep their attention, but children who come should be old enough to sit and learn for the full 3 hours. 

Invite friends and relatives to take part in this as well.  This living tribute to Jesus as the Lamb of God will be something you will always remember.
