Listen to Him
Pastor Ian continues our B.L.E.S.S. series with L for Listen, in the sermon “Listen to Him.”
Pastor Ian shares how one of the greatest blessings we can offer to people and our community is to listen to their stories. He starts with the Transfiguration where 3 of Jesus’ disciples are told to listen to him (Jesus). He shows that God shows that God desires us to listen to God. As such, we should be prepared and willing to listen to people and their community.
Pastor Ian shares four things to listen for in a shared story, and how listening to stories help people feel heard, known, and loved.

Become A Blessing
Pastor Ian explores the pivotal moment in Genesis 12:1-3, where God calls Abram (later Abraham) to leave his homeland and promises to make him a great nation. This call marks a significant shift from Abram’s past, symbolizing a break from his family’s pagan traditions and the beginning of a new lineage blessed by God. He discusses the importance of surrendering to God’s will, drawing parallels to Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 10:37-39 about prioritizing one’s relationship with God over familial ties.
Pastor Ian further discusses the concept of being a blessing to others, as highlighted in Genesis 12:2-3, challenging us to reflect on our own lives and consider how we can be a blessing to those around us, not just within our comfort zones but also in broader, more challenging contexts.
