"The Practice of Prophets"

Sermon by The Rev. Brad Landry

December 8, 2024

Now typically when we hear the message of the prophets, we think of the heavy hitters, right? The major prophets, the minor prophets. But two things that I have learned about a prophet through the catechesis of the good Shepherd, our own atrium is that if you spend enough time there, you will learn these things.. about a prophet. A prophet is one who listens. A prophet is one who listens intently to God. When the prophet speaks, it is not the prophet's own words, it is a thus saith the Lord, and that thus saith the Lord is only possible after having sat in silence to be still, to know that God is present, and to be attuned to the voice of God.
