Title: Find Your Rest
Scripture: Matthew 12:1-21
Speaker: Bill Gorman, BillG@ChristCommunityKC.org
"Spiritual growth does not happen by running faster. What keeps many of us from growing is not sin but speed... We are going as fast as we can, living life at a dizzying speed, and God is nowhere to be found. We’re not rejecting God; we just don’t have time for him. We’ve lost him in the blurred landscape as we rush to church. We don’t struggle with the Bible, but with the clock. It’s not that we’re too decadent; we’re too busy. We don’t feel guilty because of sin, but because we have no time for our spouses, our children, or our God. It’s not sinning too much that’s killing our souls, it’s our schedule that’s annihilating us. Most of us don’t come home at night staggering drunk. Instead, we come home staggering tired, worn out, exhausted, and drained because we live too fast."
—Mike Yaconelli, Messy Spirituality
