THE MASTER'S VOICE

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
- John 10:27

During the mid-twentieth century, one of the most recognizable brand icons in America was a dog sitting in front of an old-time gramophone, head cocked, listening to the sound. That iconic image, owned by the RCA Victor record company, was taken from a painting by English artist Francis Barraud. The dog, Nipper, had been owned by Barraud's brother who had recorded his voice on early phonograph records. After the brother died, Barraud inherited Nipper and the gramophone and records. Whenever the records with Nipper's master's voice were played, the dog would sit in front of the gramophone listening to his master's voice.

That's a beautiful image of the relationship between Jesus Christ and us. He has gone away from earth, so we can no longer hear His physical voice. But we sit in front of His Word, and kneel before Him in prayer, and listen for our Master's voice. The Bible was given to be the voice of the Lord until He returns, and prayer is how we confirm what we believe He has spoken to our hearts. How easily can you pick out the Master's voice from all others?

Listening for the Master's voice is a sign of loyalty and longing -- an indication that we are eager to hear and obey.

Who brought me hither will bring me hence; no other guide I seek.
- John Milton

HRCC ANNOUNCEMENTS

Wednesday Night Care Group

Location: Thomeer's House (101 Ryans Way Yorktown 23693) 240-5558
Dates: 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month
Time: 7:00 pm to 8:30pm
Child Care Provided

Topic: How People Grow (Book by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend)

What does it take to experience increasing strength and depth in your spiritual walk, your marriage and family life, your friendships, your personal development - in everything life is about?

How can you help others move into growth that is profound and lasting?

Unpacking the practical and passionate theology that forms the backbone of their counseling, Drs Henry Cloud and John Townsend shatter popular misconceptions about how God operates and how growth happens.

You'll discover…

1. The essential process that makes people grow
2. How those processes fit into a biblical understanding of spiritual growth and theology
3. How spiritual growth and real life issues are one and the same
The responsibilities of pastors, counselors, and other who assist people - and your own responsibility for personal growth

Shining focused light on the great doctrines and themes of Christianity, How People Grow shows why all growth is spiritual growth, and how you can grow in ways you never thought possible.

I look forward to having you attend on Wednesday.

Meditate on this…

Whatever your area of interest, pray God's blessing on your life as you seek him: "But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and forever! Amen" (2Peter 3:18)
