Sermon for Sunday, October 25, 2009
“Keep It Simple”
At Oasis, we encourage that we continually evaluate the priorities of our life to avoid the dangerous traps of busyness. We encourage that by faith we live out Matthew 6:33, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”
Set List for October 25, 2009
Marvelous Light
Charlie Hall
From the CD “Flying Into Daybreak” by Charlie Hall
All Because of Jesus
Steve Fee
From the CD “We Shine” by Fee
Help Me To Find You
Todd Fields
From the CD “Free” by Todd Fields
We finish up our series “Inside Oasis” this Sunday as we talk about the final core value of our six, “Keep It Simple”. Our lives are complicated, aren’t they? It is funny to me that we have all these technological advances to “save” us time, yet we are still busier than ever. We often take things that are simple, and overcomplicate them. For instance, have you ever had a task that takes you twice as long as it should, simply because there was surely an easier way to accomplish that task? I know that I have. The good news is that God’s plan is simple, and at Oasis we strive to remind ourselves of that. The bad news is that unless we constantly remind ourselves of the simple plan that He has, we will tend to complicate it. God says, “Seek me first, and everything else will be added”. No need for an iphone application, simply seek God first, and everything else will fall into place. Try it this week, and see what a difference spending time seeking God every day will make in your life.
This week our music deals a lot with simply focusing on God, and following His ways. Also, just to stay with our “simple” theme, I’ve scaled back the band and amount of songs we’ll be doing. Just one more way to remind us that God wants us to “keep it simple”. Take time to listen to the songs by clicking the links above. I look forward to worshipping with you on Sunday.
