Serve Sunday (1 of 2)
Series: Be Rich
Jeff Geyer
Matthew 9:18-26
Big Idea: Hurry is an enemy of loving and serving and in order to serve like Jesus we need to eliminate it.
Intro: The quarantining through the pandemic has slowed many of us down. We didn't feel like we were hurried, rushed, or pushed. We spent more time with our kids than we've ever spent.
For some of us we've been busier than we've ever been so there wasn't much of a quarantine. We are rushing to get business operating at a high level, re-opened, schools re-opened, and sports going again.
With the pandemic getting closer and closer to an end, I'm hearing that people are busy. Some of us are in a hurry-and quite honestly never stopped being in a hurry-and others of us are using ''being busy'' as an excuse to avoid something.
Even though we're in a pandemic, we're still in a hurry. When we hurry, we'll find out that we may be missing out on opportunities.
Today, we'll see how hurry is an enemy of serving and what we can do to eliminate it.
Tension:
How many of us have had this conversation?
F: ''How are you doing?'' You: ''Doing good.''
F: ''What you got going on?'' You: ''A lot...very busy.''
How about this conversation?
F: ''How are you doing?'' You: ''Doing good.''
F: ''Where have you been...miss hanging out?'' You: ''I know...I just have too much going on.''
I'm guilty as anyone with having too much going on. Recently I was reminded when reading this quote: ''The problem isn't when you have a lot to do; it's when you have too much to do, and the only way to keep the quota up is to hurry.'' - John Mark Comer
In those moments, when we hurry, how many of us have done or experienced this:
Made a hasty decision that cost you money
Wanted a relationship so bad that your marriage is now a regrettable decision (alone, lonely)
Rushed a phone call with your spouse to keep on schedule-came across as they're not that important
Snapped at your child for interrupt ...
