Sermons About Silence
Elijah and God's Gentle Whisper
How much noise is too much noise? Does the noise in your life prevent you from hearing the voice of God? In this sermon, we examine 1 Kings 19 and Elijah's encounter with God. We examine the need we all have to be silent, listen to God and obey Him.

Disciplines of Life: Part Three
Continueing our study of Spiritual Disciplines as the avenues of transformation by God's grace, we look this morning at the Discipline of Solitude. Solitude is a gracious gift of God offered to help us break out of selfishness and the compulsion to impress others. In being alone, we discover who we truly are, and are able to listen to God and be refreshed by His Spirit. In being alone, we discover that we are never truly alone - and in this awareness, we are set free. In being alone, we are prepared to be in community, and out of solitude we will have the inner heart necessary for true compassion and missional engagement with others. In doing this, we are walking in the footsteps of Jesus who modelled for us a life of inter-dependency on the Father.
