141 | What is Listening, and how do we do it?

In this message, Pastor Paul Durbin continues the series “Relationship Gifts” by exploring the second gift: listening. Drawing from Scripture and the Christmas story, Paul describes listening as showing up with full presence and genuine curiosity in our relationships—with others and with God. Through examples like Mary and Martha, Simeon, Anna, and even King Herod, we see how powerful—or absent—listening can be. Listening isn’t just a skill; it’s a gift that communicates love, connection, and honor. And the same God who listens to us, invites us to tune in to His voice and the people He’s placed in our lives.
