The Unforced Rhythms of Grace: Part 1

Matthew Sipe Season 2 Episode 57

Hello and welcome, thanks for visiting this channel. Dallas Willard once described hurry as “the great enemy of spiritual life in our day,” and his observation rings true, especially in today’s fast-paced world. Maybe we’ve seen firsthand how hurry underpins many of our most pressing issues. It fuels the anger and anxiety that define our cultural moment, affecting everyone—including followers of Jesus. Many of us endure a constant state of low-grade fatigue and chronic anxiety, racing through our days at a relentless pace, often feeling disconnected from God in the chaos. The truth is, our busyness hinders us from living emotionally healthy and spiritually vibrant lives. Hurry is fundamentally at odds with the way of Jesus, whose kingdom is centered on love, joy, and peace—qualities that cannot thrive in a life ruled by speed. As Willard urged, we must “ruthlessly eliminate hurry” to experience the fullness of life that Jesus offers. Join us for this six-part sermon series as we slow down and learn the unforced rhythms of grace from Jesus.
