Text: Mark 4
9 June 2024
HOW WE RESPOND TO THE LORD
It is vital we consider how we are to respond to the Lord as He speaks to our hearts. We are ultimately responsible for how we respond to His word.
21 Also He said to them, “Is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand?
22 For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light.
23 If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
24 Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.
25 For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.” Mark 4:21-25

LET US BE GREATLY CHALLENGED
Let us be challenged to listen well and to respond positively. Greater would be our level of comprehension. Greater would our faith become if we respond well to the Lord and His word.
