Free From Hurry – Sabbath

This week’s NavGroup questions will be a little different than normal. We will be using a workbook that corresponds with the book that this series is based off of, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. You can download a free copy of the PDF workbook from this link.

Please take time to read the portion of the workbook we are covering. Do as many exercises as possible that the book suggests. You may not be able to change all the areas we will cover in four weeks but any changes you make will help in your journey towards an unhurried lifestyle.

1. Ecclesiastes 1:7-8 says,  “All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.  All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.”  What do you think this scripture and personal desire have to do with each other?
2. Read and contrast Exodus 20:8-11 and Deuteronomy 5:12-15. What are the subtle differences and what are we to learn from the changes?
3. Dallas Willard once said, “Human desire is infinite by its nature; it cannot be satisfied. You must take your stand against it because you cannot satisfy it. You can never get enough money, if you want money. You can never get enough power, if you want power. You can never get enough love, you can never get enough glory. It is impossible. So fundamental is this truth that every person who wishes to follow Christ must understand it.”  Discuss this thought.
