Michelle and Ben talk about some of the exciting things happening around SUMC with "Christmas in July" and break down a key idea from a new sermon series beginning on 7/3. You may have heard about "prophets" before in the Bible, but what are they like? What makes them different from other figures in the Bible, and do we still have prophets today? These are some great questions that we explore on this week's episode of "connect".
Centering Words:
Listening to the Spirit is no accident, it
requires an attentive life.
And an attentive life isn't what comes
most naturally to many of us.
We're prone to filling every silent space
and slow day with
"stuff" of one form
or another.
But inside, God is moving and speaking
in rhythms and language that don't
scream for our attention.
Instead, he quietly waits for us to care,
to take notice and tune in on his
frequency.
May you awaken to the divine
movement within you today,
discovering the God who inhabits you.
May you take notice of the Spirit's strange
invitations within you, clearing your life of
all the noise you don't need, to tune into
the Quietness you so desperately do.
Help me stay attentive to the unusual movements of you, in me.
Amen
