2015 Mindful Meditation Retreat

About this sermon

We told you about 2015 Mindful Meditation Retreat on St. Simons Island in Georgia hosted by Bishop Senior. Now hear more about it, and about meditation, from Bishop himself. What is meditation? BISHOP RUDOLPH MCKISSICK SRMeditation is a stillness of the mind. One writer says that meditation is an exploration where the explorer removed from the fixation on external matters to a focus on internal seeking. Why do we need to meditate? BISHOP RUDOLPH MCKISSICK SRI think in this day and time because we are so flooded with things on our minds til we don't really have time or take time to concentrate and you miss out on so much. Particularly spiritually you need to steal away. That's when you sort of like empty your mind and focus on God. Most exhilarating feeling you could have. How do you meditate? BISHOP RUDOLPH MCKISSICK SR I might meditate while I'm sitting I might meditate while I'm kneeling on I meditate while I am still in the bed. What difference has meditation made in your life? BISHOP RUDOLPH MCKISSICK SR It has helped me spiritually mentally and physically. I feel better physically mentally and spiritually. What do you want people to take away from the 2015 Mindful Meditation Retreat? BISHOP RUDOLPH MCKISSICK SR That they can be silent. The psalmist says be still and know that I am God. And that's what the silent retreat is about. Our being still. Nothing distracting us from wanting God to enter into our space. The Mindful Meditation Retreat is from September 17th to the 19th, but if you’re going to take part you need to sign up soon. The cost is $425, which includes the hotel and meals. The first payment due this Saturday, August 15th.
