Sermon Questions

We sometimes get so focused on our “work” that we can miss God’s attempt to interrupt us. Why do you think it’s our tendency to do so?
Have you ever experienced a moment in your life that was a “Holy Interruption?” What was that experience like? What did you learn from it?
What would help you be more aware of God’s presence in the world?
