Time and Busyness
July 21, 2019 | Mike Stancak
Passage: Luke 10:38-42
Many of us feel ruled by our to-do list. Our lives are full of errands, activities, college application padding, and oftentimes church commitments. It’s hard to be present with friends or focused at work, and silence is impossible to come by. Why do feel like our schedule can’t afford to lose an appointment?
Discussion Questions
- What were you left thinking about after the sermon?
- In the sermon we talked about the experience of habitual stress. Can you relate to that experience? What drives your busyness?
- Do you feel like you are able to use your time with purpose? Or do you feel like you are living by compulsion and reaction?
- What role does rest play in your life?
- How does the gospel free us to rest and free us to live with purpose (to seek the kingdom)?
