Click/tap here to view the Sermon Reflection Guide. When we think about Jesus’ life and ministry, we often think of the miracles, healings, and teachings. In just three short years, Jesus changed the world and yet, he did not seem to be in a hurry. In fact, in the Gospel of Mark, we see Jesus making time for the intentional pursuit of purpose, rest, and for a grace-filled response to interruptions. In a world that glorifies speed, productivity, and constant hustle, we may find ourselves moving through life at an unreasonable rate. This not only kills kindness, but also causes us to miss what’s most important. Creating a Jesus-ish rhythm enables us to move at a reasonable rate and make time for what’s important, helping us cultivate kindness within us and around us.

In a world that glorifies speed, productivity, and constant hustle, we may find ourselves moving through life at an unreasonable rate. This not only kills kindness, but also causes us to miss what’s most important. Creating a Jesus-ish rhythm enables us to move at a reasonable rate and make time for what’s important, helping us cultivate kindness within us and around us.
