10/12/2023 | What We Waiting For? | Waiting With Your Running Shoes On - Judy Moore
TEACHING SERIES: What We Waiting For?
SERMON TITLE: Waiting With Your Running Shoes On
BY: Judy Moore
DATE: Sunday 8 December 2023
BIBLE PASSAGES:
Mathew– Chapter 3, verses 1-12
Luke – Chapter 2, verses 22-32
EXCERPT:
Have you ever had the situation where you’re working on a computer and you get the ‘spinning ball of doom’, where your computer just seems to freeze. And, you’re not sure what is happening, or what to do? Should I reboot, or wait, or what?! Life can sometimes feel like that. That you’re in limbo. How do you live when that’s the case?
It is reported that the last words of David Cassidy – the seventies Hollywood icon – were, ‘So much wasted time.’ After looking back on his life, he realised the opportunities he missed. Advent is a time of waiting – waiting for Christmas. And yet, many of us finding waiting really difficult, its feels too passive. What if waiting doesn’t just mean sitting around doing nothing, but rather is an attitude of heart that propels us into action? What if we can learn to wait with our running shoes on?
Most of us use ‘I’m waiting for God to reveal His calling on my life’ as a means of avoiding action.
(Francis Chan)
