Listening in the silence Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10

On Listening to God… We’re going to be looking at listening to God… …in the silence …in community …through Scripture Last week… we checked our hearing.

What do we do in the silence? Be still. Read the Bible devotionally (listening for what God is saying to us). Worship with music. Write a letter to God. Take a walk with Jesus. Read something that helps you listen. Pray for people you care about. During longer sabbath times: sleep.

To make it a habit Set a goal you can reach regularly. For example—4 to 5 days a week Experiment with time of day Morning? Lunch break? Before bed? Start small 10 minutes a day, 4 days a week is better than an hour once a month

What is a personal sabbath? Uninterrupted time alone with God To rest To worship To be restored To hear from God To get in touch with what is going on inside ourselves To receive vision for ministry To pray for others

Getting started with a Personal Sabbath Give yourself a half day each month A morning, afternoon, or evening—3 ½ to 4 hours If half day is too painful, work up to it. Beware of measuring productivity. Camp out by the train track. Partner. Give each other the gift of solitude. Where? Hilltop Quiet Place Great Plains Nature Center/Botanica Park/lake Library/bookstore

Greatest barrier?

Hilltop DNA 120: Family gathering (“worship”) 12: House church 7: Ministry Team 3: Triad 1: Sabbath What if these 5 relationships were built into the regular life rhythm of every HUC leader?

Are you ready to listen? “You will seek me and you will find me when you seek me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13

Our Mission To be a reproducing family living out together by the Spirit’s power the countercultural way that Jesus lived and taught— loving God, loving one another, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.
