So, how can we put this Christlike listening into work in our own lives? David W. Augsburger offer Ten Commandments of Listening that I'd like for us to consider this morning:

• Understand First
• Listen to THEM, not YOU
• Don't Assume Intent = Impact
• Stay Present
• Hear the Whole Message
• Avoid Wishful Hearing
• Test Meaning Together
• Listen Before Responding
• Be Open to Growth
• Honor Voices
