Unhurried Spirituality Pt 2 Series

Video transition: Finding Peace from this frenzied life - sermoncentral.com

Series for the year: Come Alive in 2025

Thesis: We can come back to life – nothing is too dead for God to bring life back into it – nothing is too lifeless for God to breath His life back into it! He is the Creator and He can bring anything back to life! Can you catch the vision of this truth and reality for 2025?

Story of Coming Back to Life (physically through healing): John Mark Comer's wife, the author of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, Tammy Comer, battled a chronic illness for over a decade that included a rare neurological disorder. Her symptoms were severe, leading to debilitating fatigue, vision loss, and spasms. However, she has since been radically and completely healed.

Initial illness: For over ten years, Tammy struggled with a chronic illness that initially presented as severe fatigue and cognitive issues. She was eventually diagnosed with post-Lyme polyneuropathy and a digestive disorder.

Neurological deterioration: About five years before 2021, her condition worsened significantly, with new and scary neurological symptoms developing, including spasms, vision loss, and weakness.

Diagnosis journey: Doctors explored various possibilities, including brain and spinal tumors, and eventually, Multiple Sclerosis or late-stage Lyme disease. They ultimately diagnosed a rare neurological disorder, but there was no treatment available.

Healing: Around three years before 2024, Tammy was miraculously and instantaneously healed. She and her husband kept the healing private for a period to ensure it was sustained before sharing their story.

Current status: Tammy is now healthy and thriving. She and John Mark Comer continue to share her story of illness and healing to spread their message.

Action Point: Let’s all call on God to breathe life back into that which is dead, that which needs a healing and that which seems lifeless! In 2025! It could be our family, church, school, business, community or even our spiritual and soul realms! It could be the need for miracle healing! So, what are you asking God to breath life back into today?

Main Scripture Text for Series: Ezekiel 37:4-7:

4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! 5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’” 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

This prophecy which we adopted as our prayerful theme this year reminds us of two things – God can take something dead and bring it back to life with His breath of life and 2 God will always fulfill His word and He will do it in his timing, You or I cannot rush God in any way – The Devil cannot rush God – God will not be rushed by anyone or anything – He moves at his pace and rhythm.

Case in point this prophecy was partially fulfilled 120 years later as revealed in the Book of Ezra and Nehemiah.

But Remember: The nation of Israel was destroyed in 586 BC when the Kingdom of Israel was conquered by the Babylonians, and it was later restored in 1948 after being a stateless people for over 2,000 years.

God is never in hurry and His timing is always perfect!

Current Series: Unhurried!

Tag line: Good news for busy people!

Thesis: A hurried life will make your soul and spirit unhealthy and even toxic. Jesus was never in a hurry and we need to learn from Him how to live our lives with His rhythm.

Summary of first few sermons:

Main Scripture Text: Matthew 11:28-30: 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

Jesus has given all of us an invitation to come find peace in a society running at a frenzied pace! The question is “Will you come to him to find rest for your soul?”
