In this sermon, Matt talks about the importance of finding time for retreat, receiving, and renewal in your life, just as Jesus did. Drawing from the book of Mark, he explores the two incredible stories of Jesus healing a paralysed man & Jesus's retreat to a solitary place to pray.

Matt emphasises that we, too, must make space to receive from God in order to be a part of the world's renewal.
