Psalm Reading

Psalm 90: 12-17 (NRSV taken from BibleGateway)

12 So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart. 13 Turn, O Lord! How long? Have compassion on your servants! 14 Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love, so that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad as many days as you have afflicted us, and as many years as we have seen evil. 16 Let your work be manifest to your servants, and your glorious power to their children. 17 Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and prosper for us the work of our hands -- O prosper the work of our hands!

Scripture & Sermon

Communication is so important and can happen in a variety of ways, but miscommunication can also happen in a myriad of ways, which is why listening is so much more important than speaking. And not just listening to respond... We want to really listen so we can understand, not only our family and friends, but also communication from God.

Benediction

Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and how inscrutable his ways! For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever.

AMEN.
