This week’s devotionals are from the “Preaching of Jesus” series in Mark Moore’s Quest 52. Jesus’s preaching was mind blowing. Crowds came to hear his teaching, his stories were subversive, and his training enabled others to carry out his mission. Slow down, read the text, and then let the text read you.

Meditate on these verses:

Go to this people and say, “You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.” For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes.
ACTS 28:26-27

As it is written: “God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes that could not see and ears that could not hear, to this very day.”
ROMANS 11:8

But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 
2 CORINTHIANS 3:14

What actions or attitudes make one spiritually hard of hearing?
