Summary
If we want the life of Jesus, we must adopt the lifestyle of Jesus. If we desire His public power, we must first embrace His private practices. That means stepping away while others rush in, listening when others are speaking, and moving forward when others settle for comfort. In Mark 1:35–39, Jesus revealed the rhythms that lead to a life of faithfulness and fruitfulness: solitude, resistance, and purpose.
I. The Rhythm of Solitude
II. The Rhythm of Resistance
III. The Rhythm of Purpose
Learn Your Bible: Using your favorite Bible dictionary or concordance, study the idea of solitude. If you’re able, access our new Guided Meditations at cabq.us/gm to start practicing the rhythm of solitude in your life.
Love Your Neighbor: Create the opportunity to sit and listen to a friend or family member you haven’t connected with recently.
Live in Freedom: Which of these rhythms do you need to practice this week?

| 0:40.6 | begins with simply taking the next step. Hey, we are still in Mark chapter one. We have not made it |
| 0:47.7 | out of the first chapter yet. Turning your Bibles to Mark 1, verses 35 to 39 this morning. |
| 0:55.5 | You know, a lot of churches like try to cover a whole book in like eight weeks or something, |

| 1:04.6 | That's why we crawl through it. |
| 1:06.0 | We want to get everything we can out of the text and what God is speaking to us. So maybe next week we'll be done |
| 1:12.6 | with chapter one, but who knows, we're not quite sure. I want to really quickly too, before we |
| 1:17.1 | dive in, just encourage you to come this Wednesday. You heard us talk about it in announcements, |
| 1:21.8 | but Frank Turrick is going to be with us in the house. He's an incredible apologist and he's going to be delivering a great |
