This sermon emphasizes the church's value of "being over doing." Humanity's problems often stem from an inability to be still and that many Christians live a superficial faith focused on doing rather than truly living. Drawing on the life of Jesus, who often withdrew to be with God despite opportunities for ministry, it's more important to be with God than to do things for God. Three reasons are given: doing doesn't define our identity (which is found in Christ's finished work), God desires relationship over accomplishments, and we need stillness with God as a sanctuary for healing from our pain and distractions. The sermon is a call to prioritize being with God, allowing Him to define us and heal us, rather than getting caught up in constant activity.
