Stop Wasting Time: Slowing Down to Live Like Jesus

We live in a world of endless hurry—overflowing calendars, constant distractions, and an addiction to busyness. Yet the irony is clear: despite more time-saving devices than ever before, we feel like we have less time. In this message, Pastor Matt Ayars explores what it means to give our time back to God, to set healthy boundaries, and to resist the storm of boundaryless chaos.

Drawing from Haitian culture, the biblical vision of Sabbath, and insights from John Mark Comer’s The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, this sermon challenges us to slow down, simplify, and embrace silence, solitude, Sabbath, and slowness as spiritual practices.

How we spend our time is how we spend our lives—and who we become. Jesus not only calls us to obey his teaching but to adopt his unhurried lifestyle. Let’s stop wasting time and rediscover life as God intended.
