February 14, 2016 
This Sunday we begin our “Prophetic Voices” series
“The spirit of the Lord speaks through me, his word is upon my tongue.” - 2 Samuel 23:2
A strong sense of expectation and attentiveness comes over us when we hear these words in the Hebrew Testatment:  “The Spirit of the Lord came upon him …”  It alerts us that a truth from God is about to be revealed, that a truth-teller for God is about to speak.  These are the ancient prophets:  truth-tellers for God; people who are inspired and Spirit-driven to speak for God into the situations and circumstances of life.  We marvel at their courage to speak out against the current of their surrounding culture.  Tragically, they suffer for the sake of this vital ministry.  But they speak, regardless of consequences, and it is the wise who hear their voices and take their message to heart.
