An earlier post already addressed how we need to start by listening to God. It looked at the analogy of the Lord as the Shepherd and us as the sheep for why it only makes sense we listen to Him first, above all other voices.
To Join the Lord on His Mission Requires We Start by Listening to the Lord
1) We start by listening to the Lord Jesus because He has ALL authority.
2) We start by listening to the Lord because He’s ALWAYS present, available, and able.
The Steering the Church Toward Discipleship Leadership Guide provides brief input on the above points as well as thoughts on whether this means we shouldn’t listen to and learn from other sources about how to disciple and function as a Church.
