Sermon June 23, 2013 – What are you doing here?

6/23/2013

In today’s scripture reading, Elijah escapes danger and the chaotic times of the ruling Ahab and Jezebel, and finds himself burnt out with no understanding of purpose.  He finds God in a mountaintop retreat after he hears “sheer silence”.  Today’s sermon explores how valuable sheer silence is for us today in maintain good brain health and also in finding God when we’ve become burnt out and losing sense of purpose.  I also reference a 'Ted lecture' by Dr. Daniel Amen on Brain Health that can be found at - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLKj1puoWCg

Thank you, Doug, for your thoughts. Thank you also Karen for having posted the link online.
It is a very long time since I have been in either the Kintore or Brooksdale churches. Hopefully, I may see some of you in Embro for the Games on Monday.
