Rev. Steve DeNeff - Proverbs 1:20-31;2:1-8. "Everyone is talking, but who is really listening? Proverbs says that Wisdom is always calling
out, yet who is seeking it? Wisdom falls like rain on the continental
divide, and from there it flows toward those who listen and away from those who
don’t. Most people would rather give
advice than take it. Most, who are good
at assessing others, are not as good at being assessed yet those who welcome
criticism are the ones who find Wisdom. Listening
well, and responding well to criticism, gets harder and harder the older and
more educated we become. This sermon
will show how our capacity to listen affects every relationship, every venture,
every opportunity and teach us how to listen more effectively."
