Balancing Act | Sermon Audio


Listen Later

Do you have a healthy work/life balance? Do you have a healthy balance between time spent in leisure & time spent in meaningful, spiritual & biblical activity?


✨ Everything God did in the flesh while here on earth was intentional.


Jesus prioritized His relationship with the Father!

Jesus lived perfectly as He showed us how to "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness"

1. Jesus exercised a proper work/rest balance

What He showed us in His time on earth is that you cannot handle what is before you without full reliance & trust in the One who has made you & purposed you to live. 

2. Jesus exercised proper 'yes' and 'no' balance 

He stayed focused on the mission & what that looks like was not meeting every need but meeting the needs His Father called Him to meet. 

✨ Without clarity Jesus could not have walked that balance. If Jesus needed to do this, how much more do we need to?


Two questions for you to aid in your understanding of how you find balance in your walk with God…

A. Do you take time to cease, to rest, to refocus?

B. Do you give to God your best or your first or do you just give Him the remainder of what you have left in the tank?
