The Day Alone

This week, we continue our Life Together series with a message about an often-overlooked part of Christian community: learning to be alone with God. In Mark 1:35–39, Jesus steps away from the crowds and the demands around him to spend time alone with his Father. That time shapes how he sees himself, where he goes next, and how he responds to the needs around him. n this message from Trinity's Life Together series, Pastor Nick Price explores Dietrich Bonhoeffer's idea of "the day alone" and why solitude matters for our spiritual lives. True solitude isn't about escaping people or becoming more self-focused. It creates space to hear God, face ourselves honestly, receive the grace of Jesus, and discover how God is calling us to love others. The question is simple: Can we be alone with God without reaching for something else? This message also invites the Trinity community into a simple practice: putting aside the noise for just 12 minutes to become still before God, listen to his Word, and pray for the people and community around us.
