INTRODUCTION
It is great to be back here at Vertical.
I have missed you all so much over the past month.
My time away was really good and refreshing for me and my family and most importantly with my relationship with God.
Me
I have not always done the best at rest.
I can put in the work, long intense hours.
I can be driven by achieving goals and hitting bench marks.
I have sucomb to the pressure of acceptance of others while denying the truth of the Gospel that I am already accepted.
The truth is that I have to check my rest meter more often
We
We live in a culture that says rest is not what we need.
We are constantly trying to figure how to do more with less and get more done at the same time.
We put our bodies and minds under large amounts of stress.
We have a culture says something very different.
We have become consumers of productivity of the wrong thing.
Our cultures top three causes of stree are Money, Work, and Family.
Funny how most people work for money to provide for family and some how they are all stressful.
God
God actually calls us to live another way from the hectic bust lives that we live.
We are not called to live the way many of us live.
Jesus did not live that way.
It is not best for us to do as much as we do
We often have to do all we do becuase we have not learned to be content
Jesus models for us the way.
Jesus is not just truth but he is also a model for us.
The reality is that many of us dont like Jesus as a model.
We only like him as a savior, healer, and a friend.
Now this text is specifically speaking of serving others as he was teaching to the disciples.
Would it not only apply in some of the other areas of Jesus life.
God made this day Holy-meaning that the seventh day was Holy, set a part for purpose.
It was not to be used like the other days.
It was speacial.
Jesus did somehting that many of us either want to do and cant, can do and wont, will do but dont know how, or have done and failed.
Jesus knew how to get away.
He is the truth
We
We must learn how to get away.
If you are like me sometimes getting away can be more stresful then staying.
Much of that is because we know how to get away but not rest.
Rest it really a by product of trust and security.
How can you rest if everything depends on you?
That idea alone sounds super stressful in it’s self.
Me
I want to talk about that today.
Why we need a rhythm of away and how we do it.
CONTEXT
I want to look to Jesus as a template for what we must remember when it comes to having a rhythm of Away.
Luke 5:
Jesus as you can see is on World Tour and doing what he does best.
Heal people, preach the good news, transform hearts and minds.
Yet he realizes that he has to get away from it all.
1) AWAY FROM
Real quick think aobut somethings you want to get away from!!!
ok stop, come back to Church.
We all need to get away from some stuff, people, places, I dare say ourselves.
Yet ee all feel like we cant get away from anything.
Jobs, family, and relatoinships overwhelm and over demand to the point you are just over it.
May its becuase you didnt learn how to get away.
I love this part of the text.
It said that everyone was sick and wanted t hear him but often Jesus withdrew.
What is pulling at you that makes you feel that you can not get away.
What needs you more than you need God?
The thing that was suppose to provide security is also the root of stress.
The thing you prayed for as a gift has startedto feel like a curse because you have no rhythm of away from.
That feeling of not being good enough
Matthew
Worry
(The Message)
28 “Are you tired?
Worn out?
Burned out on religion?
Come to me.
Get away with me and you’ll recover your life.
I’ll show you how to take a real rest.
29 Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
30 Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
God even invites us away from the religious demends of that day that believed in workd righteousness.
That you had to do all these special things to be with him.
The gospel frees us from things that we have not learned to come away from.
Maybe it is you tha you need to get away from.
Your desire to have your own way and rythm of life.
We cant get away from some of the stuff we need to get away from because we think we need what we ahve to survive.
Believe it or not selfishness, the absence of God driven desires, had moved people from the healthy rythms of life.
Paul David Tripp Describes this root
“You see it in the whines of a little boy, you see it in the entitlement of the teenager, you see it in the needless argument of the married couple over something unimportant, and you see it in the bitterness of the old man.
None of us has escaped this disease.
It infects all of our hearts.
It is the reason for so much of the brokenness, angst, and pain of the human community.
It is the foundation of so much unhappiness and generations of war.
It is a personal and moral disaster, yet it seduces us all.
Its power draws all of us in.
We see it in others and deny it in ourselves.
It makes for uncomfortable family moments, friendship disloyalty, and violence in the streets.
It makes us envious and demanding.
It causes discontent to be more natural than thankfulness.
It ruins our vacations and holidays.
It makes us spend ourselves into hopeless debt, to fall into paralyzing addiction, and to eat more than we ever should.
