About this sermon

How close are we to our King? After Jesus’ disciples returned from a season of ministry, he invited them to come to him. Doing things for God must never interfere with being near God.

Vance Havner: Jesus said, come apart with me for a while, because this is what he knew. If we don't come apart with him, we're just gonna come apart. Bob Goff: Every day, God invites us to the same kind of adventure, it's not a trip where he sends a rigid itinerary. He simply invites us. God asks what it is He's made us to love, what it is that captures our attention, what feeds that deep indescribable need of our souls to experience the richness of the world He made. And then, leaning over us, He whispers, Let's go do that together. Trevor Hudson: Look, Look. There there are special messages that only you can speak. Special songs that only you can sing. Special acts that only you can perform. Duane Brooks: And God knows what those are. He made you the way you are, and he empowers you to do those things.

John Wethington: If you liked Halcie, you are going to love Jesus. Duane Brooks: Lord, I thank you. I thank you that even though the cost of discipleship is high, the cost of not following you would be so much higher. And, Lord, we don't wanna pay that price. We don't wanna lose that love and that joy and that peace that come to those who are covered with the dust of our rabbi. Keep us close, Lord. We have never needed you more. #seekfirstthekingdomofgod #jesus #spiritualgrowth
