Hear the sermon now, "Listen As You Look" - Fr. Christopher Caudle

Summary of Sermon:

The sermon's central theme is the importance of listening while looking, particularly in the context of faith and the book of Hebrews. Fr. Christopher emphasizes that God has not brought us this far to leave us here and must continue to move forward by listening to God's word.

The sermon discusses the challenges of listening in a world of distractions, disappointments, and difficulties. It highlights four reasons why it can be difficult to listen:

1. Distractions: The world is full of distractions, making it hard to focus on listening to God's word.
   
   
2. Disappointments: Past disappointments and delays can cause people to harden their hearts and stop listening.
   
   
3. Complexity: The complexity of life and the feeling of being overwhelmed can lead people to give up on listening.
   
   
4. Lack of Faith: A lack of faith can make it difficult to continue listening, especially when God's word is not working in our lives.

Fr. Christopher encourages the congregation to fix their thoughts and eyes on Jesus, who is the ultimate expression of God's word and promises. Jesus exemplifies how to live between God's promises made and promises performed. He concludes by urging the congregation to look to Jesus and trust in Him to navigate through life's challenges.
