Advent: The Sound of Silence

Advent: The Sound of Silence

Pastor Aaron Sutherland

Allowing this season of longing and anticipation to drive us to focus on what’s on God’s heart instead of all that is on our to-do lists.

God does great things in silence.

I. SILENCE LETS US SEEK GOD’S HEART

Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.

II. SILENCE LETS US HEAR GOD’S VOICE

Mark 1:36

Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: "Everyone is looking for you!"

When we meet God in quiet places, nowhere becomes somewhere and nothing becomes something

III. SILENCE LETS US KNOW GOD’S PLAN

Jesus replied, "Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come." So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons.

It's easy to go the wrong direction when those who know the truth are quiet and those who don’t know the truth are loud.

God is always wanting us to move past a career and into a calling
