This week we kick off a new series called "Be Still". As followers of Christ, we’re invited to stop and rest in Him when the world around us never slows down. This sermon illustrates stillness with a powerful analogy: a clenched fist represents holding onto control, while an open hand signifies letting go and trusting God. At the heart of the message is Psalm 46, especially verse 10: "Be still, and know that I am God". The first nine verses of Psalm 46 highlight God's immense strength, power, and majesty, reminding us He is our refuge and strength, a present help in trouble. Stillness, the speaker explains, is not weakness but a conscious choice to trust God. It means acknowledging our limitations and recognizing that God is enough for any situation. Letting go of control is life-giving, allowing us to resist anxiety and reject the societal pressure to find worth in busyness or performance. God's presence, through the Holy Spirit, enables believers to release control and trust Him even amidst life's storms and uncertainties.
