Sermons at St. Andrew’s

God’s Heard Word

Because we worship an incarnate Lord whose Word became flesh, scripture is chiefly meant to be heard — spoken words landing on us from outside ourselves — and like rain in Isaiah's prophecy, God's heard word accomplishes far more than watering our religious lives: it causes thoroughgoing, unexpected flourishing across our marriages, work, sicknesses, and whole selves. Our proper response, then, is not silent pondering but audible reply: to shout, sing, and speak back, joining the mountains and meadows that clap and shout for joy.
