In Ears to Hear: A Guide for the Interpretation of the Bible I provide principles, methods, and procedures for Christians and ministers as they seek to hear God speak through the Bible and communicate the message of the Bible to those who need a word from God. This guide supplements Ears to Hear by illustrating the principles, methods, and procedures introduced in that guide through practicing them on the Sermon on the Mount. This guide is not intended to be a detailed commentary on the Sermon on the Mount. Instead, it contains the results of my personal struggle to hear God speak through the Sermon on the Mount and determine the best way to communicate its message by applying the principles, methods, and procedures introduced in Ears to Hear.
