Message notes from The Crossing, a Christian Church in Las Vegas, NV.
In The Stillness
“In a way, it is the silence that speaks. To speak is precisely what silence should do. It “should” speak, and you should talk with it, in order to harness the potential that is present. Perhaps it’s because silence goes together with wonder, but it also has a kind of majesty to it, yes, like an ocean, or like an endless snowy expanse. And whoever does not stand in wonder at this majesty FEARS it. And that is most likely why so many are afraid of silence"
- Jon Fosse
VULNERABLE
Vulnerable = To be vulnerable is to open oneself up, to strip away the protective layers and reveal our most deepest core
Luke 1:10-13 NIV
Luke 1:14-17 NIV
Silence → Vulnerability + Obedience = Transformation
Honesty is a catalyst toward the truth.
Vulnerability is a catalyst toward transformation.
Philippians 2:6-7 NIV
“There is a trough in waves, a low spot where the horizon disappears and only sky and water are our company. And there we lose our way unless we rest, knowing the wave will bring us to its crest again. There we may drown if we let fear hold us within its grip and shake us side to side, and leave us flailing, torn, disoriented. But if we rest there in the trough, in silence, being with the low part of the wave, keeping our energy and noticing the shape of things, the flow, then time alone will bring us to another place where we can see horizon, see the land again, regain our sense of where we are, and where we need to swim.”
