That Still Small Voice Hearing God's Voice Pt.2 That Still Small Voice Hearing God’s Voice pt.2 Job 32:8 NKJV But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 NKJV Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. John 4:24 NKJV God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Proverbs 20:27 KJV The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly. Joel 2:28-29 NKJV “And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 1 John 2:27 NKJV But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. Ephesians 4:11-12 NKJV And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry… 1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NKJV 4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:31 NKJV But earnestly desire the best gifts. And yet I show you a more excellent way. 1 Corinthians 13:13 NKJV And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 14:1 NKJV Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. Romans 5:5 NKJV Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Mark 1:40-42 NKJV 40 ​ Now a leper came to Him, imploring Him, kneeling down to Him and saying to Him, “If You 41 are willing, You can make me clean.” ​ Then Jesus, moved with compassion, stretched out His ​ 42 hand and touched him, and said to him, “I am willing; be cleansed.” A​ s soon as He had ​ spoken, immediately the leprosy left him, and he was cleansed. 1 John 3:15 NKJV Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him. Galatians 5:16 NKJV I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Matthew 4:1 NKJV Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Acts 16:6-10 NKJV Now when they had gone through Phrygia and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the 7 Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. ​ After they had come to Mysia, they tried to go into ​ 8 9 Bithynia, but the Spirit did not permit them. ​ So passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas. ​ ​ And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia stood and pleaded with him, 10 saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” ​ Now after he had seen the vision, ​ immediately we sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. John 16:33 NKJV These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace.In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” Nehemiah 4:16-18 NKJV So it was, from that time on, that half of my servants worked at construction, while the other half held the spears, the shields, the bows, and wore armor; and the leaders were behind all the 17 house of Judah. ​ Those who built on the wall, and those who carried burdens, loaded ​ themselves so that with one hand they worked at construction, and with the other held a 18 weapon. ​ Every one of the builders had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one ​ who sounded the trumpet was beside me. Matthew 11:12 NKJV And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 1 Timothy 6:12 NKJV Fight the good fight of faith… Matthew 4:1-11 NKJV 2 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. ​ And when ​ ​ 3 He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. ​ Now when the tempter ​ ​ came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 ​ But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word 5 that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ” ​ Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him ​ ​ 6 on the pinnacle of the temple, ​ and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself ​ ​ down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and,‘In their hands they shall ​ ​ 7 bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” ​ Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ​ ​ 8 ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” ​ Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high ​ ​ 9 mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ​ And he said to Him, ​ ​ 10 “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” ​ Then Jesus said to him, ​ ​ “Away with you, Satan! For it is written,‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you 11 shall serve.’ ” T​ hen the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. ​ 1 Peter 1:18-19 NKJV knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Philippians 2:9-11 NKJV Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every 10 name, ​ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on ​ 11 earth, and of those under the earth, ​ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is ​ ​ ​ ​ Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 1 John 3:23 NKJV And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment Acts 3:1-10 NKJV 2 Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. ​ And ​ ​ ​ a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the 3 temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; ​ who, seeing 4 ​ Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. ​ And fixing his eyes on him, with 5 ​ John, Peter said, “Look at us.” ​ So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something 6 ​ from them. ​ Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In ​ 7 the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” ​ And he took him by the right hand ​ 8 and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. S​ o he, leaping ​ ​ ​ up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. 9 10 ​ And all the people saw him walking and praising God. ​ Then they knew that it was he who sat ​ begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. Psalms 8:2 NKJV Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength, Because of Your enemies, That You may silence the enemy and the avenger. Matthew 21:16 NKJV and said to Him, “Do You hear what these are saying?” And Jesus said to them, “Yes. Have you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants You have perfected praise’?” 2 Chronicles 20:21 NKJV And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever.” ​ ​ Revelations 12:11 NKJV And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

  • Sermon Notes: 1/2 “The Bravest Prayer”
    “Whisper” Sermon Series Sermon Notes: 1/2 “The Bravest Prayer” • For additional church resources visit MarkBatterson.com/Whisper • To inquire about bulk book order discounts on Whisper visit the Multnomah Purchasing Page here. Half a century ago, Dr. Alfred Tomatis was confronted with the most curious case of his fifty-year career as an otolar- yngologist. A renowned opera singer had mysteriously lost his ability to hit certain notes even though those notes were well within his vocal range. He had been to other specialists, all of whom thought it was a vocal problem. Dr. Tomatis thought otherwise. Using a sonometer, Dr. Tomatis determined that this opera singer was producing 140-decibel sound waves at a meter’s distance. That’s louder than a military jet taking off from an aircraft carrier! That discovery led to this diagnosis: the opera singer had been deafened by the sound of his own voice. And because he couldn’t hear the note, he could no longer sing the note. In Dr. Tomatis’s words, “The voice can only reproduce what the ear can hear.” The French Academy of Medicine dubbed it the Tomatis effect. And it’s ramifications go way beyond opera. Listen, here’s my theory. All of us have problems—relational problems, emotional problems, spiritual problems. We think those problems are the problem, but I think they’re symptoms. The root cause of our problems is a spiritual Tomatis effect—ears that have been deafened to the voice of God. It’s our own negative self-talk. God can’t get a word in edgewise! It’s the voice of criticism—you’ve heard that voice so often for so long that you can’t believe anything else about yourself.

  • St. John's Episcopal Church
    St. John’s Episcopal Church A place to discover connections with God and one another www.sjparish.net The Third Sunday of Advent HOLY EUCHARIST RITE II December 11, 2016 10:30 a.m. 2 THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT An Advent Message from the Rector This is the season of Advent, a time of paradox. Advent is both beginnings and endings as we prepare to encounter the Mystery of God in our very midst. We are invited to enter into a time of quiet contemplation as we anticipate God breaking into human history in the shape of a tiny, fragile infant we will welcome as the Christ Child. At the same time we wait for the day of the Lord’s coming. In this in-between time, we wait with hope in the darkness of winter for the light of Christ to come into the world. Advent is the beginning of a new church year, with the focus on a particular gospel in our Sunday lectionary readings. This year, we will read from Matthew’s gospel. These four weeks of Advent are an opportunity to listen to that still small voice within, beckoning each one of us to stop and set some time apart from our busy holiday preparations to simply be with God. Time spent with the Holy One is to experience the greatest gift of all: God’s extravagant outpouring of love and mercy made manifest on Christmas morning. There is no greater gift. If you are with us for the first time, please make yourself comfortable, and stay for coffee following the service.

Whether we are talking about two people or two hundred people, any notion of Us presumes the individual—presumes the Me. And while for the sake of appearances we often project a Me that is stable and solid, completely put to- gether - for many of us the real Me is barely holding it together. We suppress. We ignore. We hide the truth of our lives, the truth of what it means to be Me. During these days and weeks of Lent we are hoping to be a safe place for you to be honest with all of who you are. We are inviting you to find strength and heal- ing by acknowledging that sometimes our lives are not perfectly put together.

  • Week 3, Day 5 Psalm 126: 4-6 Hot Chocolate Marshmallows
    Introduction Weather is a common topic for small talk. Because of our ever-changing climate, it seems that us Midwesterners are constantly checking our weather apps, looking at the forecast to adjust our travel arrangements, and turning our gaze to the horizon to read the forecast in the clouds. However, weather is an inevitable piece of life that remains firmly outside our grasp and cycles on, shifting and changing, blowing in and out of the spaces where we remain. Winter especially, brings a new dimension to window watching and sky gazing. I’ve heard some people talk about making it through a Midwestern winter the same way people talk about running a marathon or cycling cross-country. For some, it is a journey of pride. For others, it is a journey of grit. Wintry days take perseverance and intentional observation. Winter weather also prompts so many questions, particularly about snow. Will we get any? Is there some sitting heavy in those clouds above? Will it come with ice and how will the roads be after it arrives? So many nuances that tug at our curiosity and keep our minds spinning with possibilities. Some jump for joy when those first flakes appear, some grumble, some only want to observe it from a distance, and some, like me and my winter-loving pup, want to run outside and throw our whole body into it. Snow is the final step in a cyclical process that, most of the time, we can’t see without special radars and fancy algorithms. Yet, it all starts with a tiny particle that changes into something more than it was before.

  • Kol D'mamah Dakah: the Still Small Voice. Excuse
    Kol D’Mamah Dakah: The Still Small Voice. Excuse me? Who do you think you’re talking to? Cantor Sue Knight Deutsch Rosh Hashanah Day 2, 5780 Transcribed from the original spoken version: (Holding Shofar aloft and singing loudly): “u’vShofar gadol yitakah”. (Placing shofar on lectern, then placing hands over heart and singing softly): “v’kol d’mamah dakah yishamah”. “The great shofar will be sounded, and the still small voice will be heard”. These words come from the prayer, U’netaneh Tokef, which Cantor Natalie will be singing shortly. Everyone knows that this is a shofar, but my Rabbi tells me that not everyone knows what the still small voice is. This isn’t just any shofar. This is a special shofar to me. This one belonged to my late husband, Michael Deutsch, and he was taught to blow the shofar by our very own Charlie Lupul, and I think that Charlie helped him pick out this particular shofar. The last time that Michael blew this shofar was on October 1st, 2008, which corresponded to the second day of Rosh Hashanah. Yes, today is October 1st, and it is the first time since that day that the second day of Rosh Hashanah has corresponded with October 1st. It’s also the first time I’ve ever given a sermon on High Holy Days, even though I have given over 1500 sermons in my lifetime - this one makes me nervous! When Mike blew this shofar on October 1st, 2008, he had no way of knowing that he would not be here the following year to blow that shofar.
