Did you know there is a 400 year silent period between the Old Testament and New Testament, when God did not speak to humanity? When Jesus was born, it was the moment in history when God broke His silence!

What do we do when we can't make breathing room (everything you do is important)? What did Jesus do? Jesus can do all things, but chose to NOT do all things. What is your unique role?

Why is it so hard to let go of work to create breathing room? Could it be that we have so much riding on our jobs? Could it be that our identity is tied to our careers? Genesis 1:3-4, 26-27; 3:16-18

Luke 16:13 Creating breathing room financially may lower your standard of living, but raise your quality of life.

Mark 1:29-39 Live within your God-given limits. Know yourself, know your limits and know that when you say yes to one thing, you are saying no to something else.

We live in a culture that values busyness. However, there are many drawbacks to being too busy. God commands us to create some breathing room (even if that means we need to sacrifice valuable time or resources). Exodus 16:21-30; 20:8-11; Matthew 6:24-33.

Following commands without remembering the purpose behind them can be a waste of time. We studied different aspects of church so that we can be reminded of what each individual act is supposed to accomplish in our lives. Also, there is a time of Q&A.

Is it biblical for us to tithe to the church? If not, what should we do? What does the Bible say about tithing? How much should we give? Leviticus 27:30-33 2 Corinthians 8:8-9 Acts 2:42-45

The church organization is run by God's people. When we do, we are representing Him. Exodus 7:1 Ephesians 4:15-16 1 Corinthians 12
