My Story – Week 2 | I Decided to Stop

Too many of us measure worth by how slammed our calendars are—running from one obligation to the next until we’re exhausted, anxious, and wondering if any of it actually matters. This message tackles the common pressure to be perpetually busy, the guilt that comes with slowing down, and the specific moment when a leader like Moses is told to stop doing it all himself. The talk traces a simple, practical shift: stop one thing. Using Moses and his father-in-law’s advice as a model, the sermon lays out four reasons to stop—profitlessness, destructive habits, missed margins, and the gospel truth that God already made time for you—and urges one small, keystone change that opens space for what matters most: relationship, rest, and letting God write your story. You’ll be invited to consider a single, doable stop that could reshape the rest of your life and leave a surprising margin for grace.
