Give us ears to hear – An introduction

This will be a video series about listening – both listening to God and others – and learning to think reflectively – both about Scripture and culture. This is meant to be an on-going virtual conversation, so please interact with each video whether it’s through comments or direct messages. Others will likely join me along the way in the videos to have conversations with me, and the goal is really that we might have ears to hear what God is saying to us in our lives and in our world today.

Here is the introduction video:

Give Us Ears To Hear - Introduction

Video Spotlight | “God Himself” by Matthew Smith

The promise of God’s comfort is so wonderful that it really is beyond description.

"God Himself" | Matthew Smith | OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO

I found this song simple and beautiful. Take a few minutes and meditate on the message.

The promise of God’s comfort is so wonderful that it really is beyond description. I love the way this song points to it without trying to explain it.

Lyrics:

In the day when silent sorrow
Seems to shake me to the core
Then I hear the heavenly comfort,
“You will weep no more.”

God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears

In the day when earthly weakness
Weighs your weary spirit down
All around you seems a burden
All above you seems a frown

God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears

In the day when sin oppresses
And the battle rages strong
When the victory seems doubtful
Or triumphant seems the wrong

God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears
God Himself will dry your tears
God Himself will soothe your fears

Oh I hear the heavenly comfort,
“You will weep no more.”

A Short Film | “Riva” by Noble Lure

A beautiful short film by Christopher Wiegand re-imagining the story of the woman with an issue of blood in Mark 5.

If you need twelve minutes of distraction, use this short film to fill it. You won’t regret it.

Beautifully dramatized, visually striking, and the score is just as poignant.

Description from the creator:

Led by a mysterious compass, a homeless woman embarks on a perilous journey to find healing for her broken hands.

/// Adapted from Mark 5:34 \\

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”

Film is produced by Chris Wiegand of Noble Lure.

Christian Cuevas | “To Worship You I Live”

Great rendition of “To Worship You I Live” by Christian Cuevas, The Voice 2016 contestant.

Verse 1
Away away from the noise
alone with you
away away to hear your voice
and meet with you
nothing else matters my one desire is

Chorus
To worship you I live
to worship you I live I live to worship you
To worship you I live
to worship you I live I live to worship you

Tag
oh oh

Verse 2
Away away, away away from the noise alone with you
Away away to hear your voice and meet with you
It’s been a while but hear my heart cry again

Video Spotlight | “What is the particular genius of the constitution?”

Sometimes you can learn a lot from a movie. With Honors is one of my favorites.

In light of all that is happening in the political realm of the United States.

If you have not seen the movie With Honors, I would encourage you to do it. It’s a great movie. Probably one of my favorites.
