Fighting for Our Souls - pt 3
INTRO:
A SOUL CANNOT HEAL
Psalm 46:10
Be still, and know that I am God.
I. SLOW DOWN
Psalm 62:5-12
Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. My salvation and my honor depend on God; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
II. TURN DOWN
Luke 5:16
Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Mark 6:31
Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.
1 Thessalonians 4:11 (NLT)
Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business…
Luke 10:38-42 (NLT)
As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord’s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details! There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”
