Almighty God and Everlasting Father, how easy it is for us to

inconsistencies which exist between what we say that we believe
and how we live. Be gracious to us and forgive us through Jesus
Christ our Lord who lives and reigns with You and the Holy
Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.
A Life of Significance
Mark 1:21-38
9am Sunday Service
INTRODUCTION
All of us want to live a “life that counts.” But many of us get
distracted by the “Tyranny of the URGENT.” Endless calls, emails,
texts, and trivial pursuits take focus away from what is important.
We find ourselves coming to the end of a week, a month, a year and
lamenting, “Where did the time go? Why did I waste so much time
and energy on things which really don’t count?”

CONTEXT
In this passage Jesus faces a whirlwind of activity in the space of one
day. Notice carefully the number of events which Jesus
encountered—preaching, ministering to a man who sought to disrupt
the service, healing Peter’s mother in law, and praying for the sick of
the community throughout the evening. But notice the key activity
which follows? Jesus got up early and sought through prayer the
directives of his Father in Heaven.
