Be Still

Jan 5, 2025    Pastor Thomas-Steele Carr

In our fast-paced world, we often find ourselves caught in a whirlwind of activity, believing that busyness equates to importance. However, this sermon challenges us to reconsider our priorities and the impact of our hectic lifestyles on our spiritual well-being. Drawing inspiration from Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 to 'Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest,' we're encouraged to slow down and simplify our lives. The message emphasizes that following Jesus isn't about adding more tasks to our to-do list, but about centering our lives around Him. We're reminded that God values who we're becoming more than what we're accomplishing. This sermon urges us to reflect on how our busyness might be hindering our relationship with Jesus and challenges us to prioritize 'being' over 'doing' in our faith journey.
