The Gift of Hearing: A Path to Faith and Proclamation There is a special prayer of blessing at the baptism of children, . . . . . . spoken immediately after pouring water on the child. In this prayer, the priest or deacon invokes the Lord who made the deaf hear and the mute speak, asking that He touch the child's ears to receive His word and their mouth to proclaim His faith. This prayer, known as the “Ephphatha” or “Be Opened” prayer, is also present in the rite of adult initiation, occurring before the day of baptism. Its purpose is to open the ears to hear the Word of God and the mouth to proclaim the faith into which the individual is entering. Jesus Begins the Healing By . . . It's fascinating that Jesus begins healing by opening ears. Without the ability to hear, one cannot speak. Even when hearing is impaired, speech becomes difficult. This illustrates that hearing is more fundamental than speaking. Perhaps this is why God gave us two ears but only one mouth—so we might listen more than we speak. Imagine if it were the other way around! In today's Gospel, Jesus heals the whole person by first healing the ears, enabling them to hear the Word of God. For without hearing the Word, one cannot proclaim it. It all begins with listening. This invites us to reflect: How often do I hear the Word of God? How often do I read it? More importantly, how often does my speaking flow from listening to the Word of God? This reflection encourages us to listen more—both to God and to others. Before responding to others, we must first hear them. . . . Opening the Ears Once we've listened to the Word of God, we are then called to proclaim it. Additionally, today's Gospel reminds us of the people who brought the man from the Decapolis to Jesus, asking for healing on his behalf. Jesus responded to their plea and healed him. This invites us to consider: Who can I bring to Jesus today? Whether through prayer or action, we are called to intercede for others. Think of someone suffering or in need. Bring them to Jesus in prayer, asking for healing, comfort, or strength. Today's message challenges us to listen more deeply and to bring others to Jesus, trusting in His power to touch, heal, and open hearts. Listen more to the additional lessons in today's readings.

Through their shared faith, unity, and service, they embodied what it means to be the body of Christ in their communities.We will seek to embrace the call to see the Body—to recognize the beauty, purpose, and mission of God's people—and to be the body—living out that mission in our homes, neighborhoods, and world.Let's rediscover the joy of being the body of Christ and recommit to making an eternal impact for His kingdom. May we see His body clearly and be His body boldly.

Matt 4:12–17And so it begins.Jesus begins his ministry in the North. Why?
Jesus begins teaching and casting out demons throughout the region, and we see that this is the same act- Jesus is turning darkness to light. As Christians then, we are people of truth; people of the Word.

Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry The Right Recording( Matthew Chapter 4 )

This week we tell the story of Jesus beginning to speak and preach in parables. What would cause the son of God to begin speaking in stories and illustrations with deeper spiritual meanings? Why would Jesus speak in obscure ways? Wouldn't Jesus want to be as clear as possible, so He can tell as many people as He could about the Kingdom? Well, there was a reason found in the prophecies of Isaiah. Listen to this week's podcast to find out more. To follow along turn to Matthew 13.

In which John and David discuss Jesus, the Devil's test, and how we read the Bible. Satan tries a new approach and quotes Scripture to Jesus. But does he quote it properly. In this episode we explore how the scripture needs to be considered a little more in depth than just quoting the occasional verse. Jesus offers us a different way to read the Bible - one that is consistent with the whole story of God.
