Jesus Helps Us to Hear (Matt Albritton)

Jesus Helps Us to Hear | Mark 7:31-37In this powerful message, we explore the story of Jesus healing a deaf and mute man – and what it means for us to be truly open to God's voice today. Jesus' command "Ephphatha" (Be opened) speaks not just to physical ears, but to our spiritual condition.KEY POINTS:- Jesus cares about our dignity – He took the man aside privately- Physical touch demonstrates compassion and strengthens faith- Jesus' sigh reveals God's heart for our suffering- We can bring others to Jesus through prayer, scripture, testimony, kindness, and invitation- God does all things well – what He begins, He finishes- Jesus says to us today: "Be opened" to His voice, His will, and His workSCRIPTURE: Mark 7:31-37The first voice this man ever heard was the voice of Jesus. The first words he likely spoke to his friends? "Thank you for bringing me to Jesus."Are you walking closely with God? Are you listening to His still, small voice? Are you talking with Him in prayer? Jesus says to you this morning: Be opened.From First Methodist Church WetumpkaVisit wetumpkafirst.com to connect with us!#Sermon #Methodist #Faith #Healing #JesusHeals #Prayer #BeOpened
