"For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 2 Timothy 4:6 (NIV)" This past Sunday we looked at how Paul "poured out his life" by investing and spending time with others like Timothy. Who are you pouring your life into?

Sometimes we don’t hear from God because He is quiet. But sometimes we don’t hear from God because we are not quiet.

Fasting is this reminder that ultimately your sustenance doesn't come from you, it comes from God.

The Sabbath is a reminder that our value does not come from how much we produce, but from our identity in Christ and our relationship with God.

REDEEM the time you already have. You already eat dinner, eat that same meal with a neighbor. Your kids need to get energy out, let them play with neighbor kids while you sit on porch with their parents.

In this sermon we take a look at how Jesus shows us a different way to live, a countercultural way where we can have the margin to develop relationships with our neighbors.
