Has anyone ever been distracted? Truthfully, we live in a world full of distractions. With everything going on in our world and inside our head, how do we re-center and re-focus our attention on Jesus Christ? In this week’s sermon, we will not only consider this query, we will look at some ways to navigate our lives in order to become re-focused and re-centered into Christ’s presence.
The fourth commandment has so much to teach us about the importance of rest and reflection. As a church community, we are constantly on the go, and there is always a never-ending to-do list waiting for us. This message reminds us to slow down, rest, and rejuvenate in His presence. It’s a chance for us to step away from the busyness of life and find true peace in God’s love. In the process, we learn more about God’s desire for us to depend on Him. If you are a busy person, following this commandment may be difficult.
