Sometimes as we look around, we ask ourselves why there seems to be no difference in behavior between us in the church and those who have no relationship with Jesus. For much of ancient Israel’s history they had the same problem. Pastor Mark will be teaching about the core difficulty – although God is trying to speak words of life to us, we aren’t listening. Jesus had the same trouble in His time. In fact, because the Jewish leadership didn’t want to hear what God had to say, they killed Jesus. If we want to live God’s way, we have to begin to listen to and obey Him.
