How the Kingdom of God grows

Central Idea: The Kingdom of God Grows by Hearing the Word

Doctrine: The Kingdom of God Grows by Hearing the Word

Practical application: Hear the Word Better

In attempting to capture the meaning of hearing the Word a little more completely, I listed the following adverbs: humbly, gratefully, hungrily, obediently, intelligently, conversationally, responsefully. Why these?

Responsefully, because God has given us a free will by which we can do what God wants, with the help of His grace.
Humbly, because it is God speaking to us.
Gratefully, because it is a treasure for us.
Hungrily, because we ought to long for this communication.
Obediently, because it reveals God’s will for us.
Intelligently, because God has given us our rational nature and we should use our intellects in meeting him.
Conversationally, because the prayer which accompanies our reading of the Sacred text can be a dialogue with God.
