Pause: Listen & Obey

In this episode, Devin & Natalie discuss Natalie's sermon centered on the theme of listening and obeying God's voice, particularly in the context of missions. She began with the imagery of Jesus as the Good Shepherd from John 10, explaining how a shepherd acts as both protector and guide for the sheep. Natalie then drew parallels to Moses' calling, examining four questions he asked God: "Who am I?", "Who are You?", "What if they don't believe me?", and "Can You send someone else?" Through each question, God reassured Moses with the promise, "I will be with you."Devin & Natalie emphasized that obedience to God's call is not about our abilities, but about His presence and power working through us. Natalie highlighted the Hebrew concept of "shema" (hear), which implies both listening and obeying. She concluded by reminding the congregation that the Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 is a command for all believers, urging them to listen and obey God's call to missions, whether locally or globally.#shema #listen #obey #globalencounters #missions #launchedonmission
