Simple Life: The Busy Trap

Life is stressful. Life is busy. I don’t have time for the things that matter. No matter where we are in life, we all have the same complaints about our lives.  We are simply too busy.  We all likely struggle under the pressing weight of work, family, exercise, bills, church, school, friends, and a barrage of requests, demands, and desires.  Most everyone we know feels exhausted and overwhelmed most of the time.  But it doesn’t have to be that way.  In fact, it shouldn’t be that way. Jesus didn’t live that way.  He lived a simple life.  He had space on the margins of life to pay attention to the distractions, to help the helpless, to follow God’s call upon His life.  Isn’t that how life should be rather than living frantically from one distraction to the next? Join us at OKC First Church for our current sermon series “Simple Life” beginning this Sunday.  Throughout this series we are examining God’s call for us to live a more simple, uncluttered, and faith-filled life.  We hope this series will inspire lives that are more spiritual and less harried, rich in experiences with family and friends rather than nagging to-do lists or late nights at the office.  Join us in this Simple Life.  Pastor Lesly
