Rest for the Rest of Us…

By

Not enough hours in a day??

Sunday Announcements

Sermon Notes

Intro: St. Columbanus: “If you want to know what the Creator is like, study creation.”

 

What if God made us in a similar way?  That rest is healthy, good, necessary?
Rest: Time that refreshes us and our relationship with God that the world would consider unproductive

 

Big Idea: God approves of our rest as much as he approves of our activity

X2: When we choose to rest we are choosing God’s best for us

 

Story/Context:

Mark 1: Jesus is busy morning, noon, and night…

  1. 35: “In the morning, while it was still very dark, he got up and went out to a deserted place, and there he prayed.”

VERY NEXT VERSE: vs. 36: “And Simon and his companions hunted for him.”

 

SO WHAT’S THE ALTERNATIVE?

Today – give you the choice: (and we’ll walk before we run)

THIS WEEK: Margin Time: early morning, lunchtime, after supper, before bed TAKE 10 MIN

– (set a timer): read a Psalm, Daily Bread, walk, music, Pray-as-you-go, turn off technology

– ASK GOD TO BLESS THE TIME

Rev. Michael Caines

I live to answer the question: “So how did you go from civil engineering to becoming a priest??” I have been here since 2008 when I arrived as the assistant. Since 2012 I have been leading the church as the Priest-in-Charge, and now as the full-time Lead Pastor. I grew up in Sussex, N.B. and then studied Civil Engineering at UNB Fredericton. After a brief period in youth ministry my wife and I moved to Uganda to teach and work at an Anglican Secondary School. After that, I studied at Wycliffe College in Toronto, ON and was ordained in 2008. I served with the Naval Reserve for a number of years but now as the Chaplain for 3 Field Artillery Regiment in Saint John and Woodstock, N.B. I love the outdoors and in my down time I enjoy running, sailing and playing music, but most importantly, time with my family.
