Slow down your pace of hurried-ness and enjoy the quality life God meant for you to live! Praise and Worship Song Performed: 1. Way Maker - Sinach 2. Trust in the Lord - New Creation Worship 3. Still - Hillsong Music Colossians 2:5 - We can still gather as a church for online services. We are not just physical creatures. God has ordained that we can walk in the spirit and live in the spirit. Pastor Prince sees the congregation in the spirit. “For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:5 WEB) 2 Corinthians 4:18 - The things that are visible are temporal, whereas the invisible things are eternal. “while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:18 WEB) 2 Peter 1:2 - Shalom peace is wholeness and well-being. Not just feeling calm in your emotions. “Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord,” (2 Peter 1:2 WEB) Luke 10:38-42 - The word “anxious” here is merimnaó in Greek. It means to be divided into many parts and pulled in many different directions. Troubled here is “thorubeo” meaning a noisy uproar, upheaval, tumult. In Martha’s mind, there was a lot of noise trying to pull her in many different directions. Martha was worried and troubled because she did not do the one needful thing. Mary did not just listen to Jesus’ words. She also sat at His feet—a position of rest. “As they went on their way, he entered into a certain village, and a certain woman named Martha received him into her house. She had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she came up to him, and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister left me to serve alone? Ask her therefore to help me.” Jesus answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good part, which will not be taken away from her.”” (Luke 10:38-42 WEB) Hebrews 4:11 - For a believer today, the promised land is to enter God’s rest. Rest is the posture of faith and trusting in God. God told Pastor Prince that He wants to heal us of a sickness called “hurry”. “Let us therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.” (Hebrews 4:11 WEB) God is allowing the world to go through this pandemic so that we can learn how to slow down our pace of life.
