Making Room for God’s Invitation Mark 9:1-8
Peter said to Jesus: “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters- one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (v.5)
Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them… “This is my Son, whom I love, LISTEN TO HIM!”
(v.6)
4 Reasons It is Difficult to Listen:
1. “Follow” (is hard)
2. “Wait” (is hard)
3. “Margin” (is hard)
Margin
80% capacity – we have some space/margin
100% capacity-- no reserves, no buffer
120% capacity – overloaded, running on fumes
4 Reasons It is Difficult to Listen:
