#8. Solitude and Silence
September 24, 2017 • Nick Seders
We live in a noisy world! Jesus had a rhythm of being in crowded places but also retreated from the masses to be on his own -see Luke 5:16- The practice of silence and solitude (although not technically spiritual disciplines) refresh us and give us an opportunity to focus on the only voice that matters, God's. In this week's message Nick Seders continues our series with teaching on solitude and silence. . . . Reflection Question - Quiet yourself and focus on the Lord. Let him speak through his Word, as you process this message. Challenge - Every day this week, retreat into solitude and silence for five minutes during your lunch break. Scripture - Luke 5:16 - Luke 4:1-14 - Psalm 42:7
