The Christian philosopher and writer Dallas Willard was once asked by Pastor John Ortberg what someone must do to become the kind of person that God wants them to be.  Pastor Ortberg was discussing becoming spiritually healthy and getting closer to God.

Dallas Willard's response was that "hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life in our day. You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life."

In today's edition of Family Worship, Pastor Dan Sweetman unpacks this concept and relates it to a question that Jesus was asked about the purpose of life.  Jesus' answer was to love God, and to love your neighbour as yourself.  Pastor Dan will be looking at why we need to eliminate hurry in order to love God and love others.

Dan Sweetman is the pastor of Lifepoint Church in Rothwell, a Baptist church that wants to make Jesus known in their region and see thousands of lives transformed by the gospel. 

Lifepoint meet Sunday at 8:30am, 10am and 5pm in the Grace College Chapel in Rothwell.
