We are currently in the midst of our “Drawn In” sermon series where we are diving into how our Creating God calls us to live creative lives with Him.

“Listening” as part of creativity is about perceiving; we open our senses to see what is emerging. Perhaps what we start doesn’t end up looking like what we thought it would. Instead, once the act of creating begins, we listen to how the Spirit is guiding our next steps and unfolding possibilities we were previously unaware of. Without paying attention in this way, we act as if we have all the answers. And when we are up against something that doesn’t go our way, we see it as negative… but what if those moments are simply God inviting us to see new ways of moving forward in our lives?

Today, Pastor Jen Tyler shares from Acts 16, and how listening is more than audibly “hearing” God, and challenges us to become more in tune with the Spirit of God and where God can lead us when we truly listen.
