It emphasizes the necessity of both inward spiritual replenishment and the outward mission to engage with a distracted world. Community Worship and Mission Focus The service opened with a call to worship from Psalm 108, celebrating God’s steadfast love and faithfulness. A significant portion of the gathering was dedicated to the mission of the church, specifically highlighting the work at Zuni Christian Mission School (ZCMS) in New Mexico. Tim Beckford shared that the school is currently experiencing a "season of harvest," evidenced by recent baptisms of students and their family members. He emphasized that this work is sustained not by human strength, but through the Holy Spirit and the collective prayers of the global church. Intercessory Prayer and Social Reflection During the pastoral prayer, the congregation reflected on the beauty of creation while acknowledging the "dark valleys" of modern life. Specific concerns were raised regarding the rise of hatred, violence, and tension within the nation. The prayer sought peace, patience, and the frustration of those who promote fear. Additionally, the community interceded for those facing acute medical needs, specifically mentioning individuals battling cancer, chronic pain, and addiction, asking for both physical and soulful restoration. The Sermon: The Two Moves of Jesus The core message, based on Luke 4:42-44, examined Jesus’ devotional rhythm, which consists of two essential "moves": 1. The Inward Move (Replenishment) Jesus frequently sought "deserted places" to pray and commune with the Father, especially after exhausting periods of ministry. This inward discipline is framed as vital for restoration. In a modern context, this is challenged by the "Attention Economy," where smartphones and digital distractions are designed to prevent quiet contemplation. The sermon noted a resurgence of interest in ancient spiritual disciplines (Sabbath, silence, fasting) among younger generations, such as Millennials and Gen Z, who are seeking "food and water" for their distracted souls. 2. The Outward Move (Mission) The second move is the "must" of the Gospel—the necessity to move toward others. Jesus resisted the temptation to stay in a comfortable, successful ministry in Capernaum to reach other towns. His outward move was characterized by radical inclusion, reaching out to tax collectors, Samaritans, lepers, and the poor. The sermon argued that outward disciplines, such as hospitality, do not just bless others but also form and change the believer. By engaging with people from different backgrounds, Christians gain a fresh perspective on their own lives and ministries. The Christian life is compared to the act of breathing: the inward move of spiritual replenishment is the "breath in," and the outward move of mission and hospitality is the "breath out." True human life, fully lived in the Holy Spirit, requires both moves to remain healthy and faithful to the example of Christ.
