Sermon Notes
Bless Our Oikos: Open Ears Open Hearts
Luke 24:13-35
June 29, 2025
In a world full of talkers, what we really need is more listeners.
“Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person, they are almost indistinguishable.”
–David W. Augsburger
Hearts open when ears are open.
Luke 24:13-16
13 Now that same daytwo of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem.
15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
Luke 24:17
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?”
Do you want to be a better listener?
Get better at asking questions.
Luke 24:17-19
They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 “What things?” he asked.
Luke 24:19-24
“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”
Do you want to be a better listener?
Prioritize feeling their pain over fixing their problem.

Your oikos needs you to listen to them before they'll listen to you.
Luke 24:25-27
25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?”
Luke 24:28-29
28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.
Do you want to be a better listener?
Wait for their willingness to hear.
Who in your oikos needs to be heard before they’ll hear?
