The Practice of Stillness

Uncluttered

Based on Jonah 3:1-5, 10, Mark 1:14-20

       Following Jesus requires a de-cluttering of unnecessary and harmful stuff in our lives that clog our emotional and spiritual arteries. The practice of stillness in God helps us to de-clutter our life to follow Jesus better.

Welcome

Call to Worship (from Psalm 62:5-8)

For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from God.
God alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress,
I shall not be shaken.

On God rests my deliverance and my honor;
my mighty rock, my refugee is in God.

Trust in God at all times, O people; pour out your heart before God;
God is a refuge for us. Amen.

Come let us worship God.
The Peace of Christ is with you!
