TOO BUSY FOR A SEAT AT THE TABLE
We’re busy people these days. Could it be that we’ve become too busy to do the very things God has made us to do? Are we missing out on the feast that the Lord has prepared for us to enjoy? Join us as we discuss the “good portion that will not be taken away.”
-
Most of us have probably heard the story of Mary and Martha. This narrative lays the foundation as we begin to examine what it means to be too busy.
-
Although distracted busyness is a problem that plagues our society, the Christian life is supposed to be one of "much serving." The Christian life should be busy, but the question is, "With what?"
-
The only way to find true rest for your soul is to bring your burdens to Jesus and learn from him.
-
The lifestyle of a Jesus-follower should look like Jesus’ lifestyle. One of Jesus’ rhythms of an unhurried life was the discipline of solitude.
-
The practice of sabbath has been largely abandoned by the modern church, yet it was something created and blessed by God to benefit his children.
-
The problem of “not enough time” for Jesus is closely related to having “too much stuff.” A wholehearted disciple seeks the Kingdom of God first and lives an outward lifestyle of material simplicity.
-
It seems like much of the time we’re in a rush to get to the next thing. However, Jesus had a habit of slowing down to do ministry and to display God’s glory when others would have rushed past those opportunities.
-
The lifestyle of Jesus is a lifestyle of self-sacrifice. He calls his followers to the same lifestyle, but he provides the grace and strength to endure sacrifice with joy.
-
The disciplines of rest are all about propelling the Christian to a place of humble listening before the Lord.
