In the humorous yet impactful sermon, "You Don't Run in the Lazy River," Pastor Thomas-Steele illustrates how our life's pace directly affects our inner peace. Using vivid imagery from a water park lazy river and biblical examples from the lives of Abraham and Sarah, Moses, Saul, and David, he emphasizes that running ahead or falling behind God's intended pace creates unnecessary stress and conflict in our lives. True peace comes only when we align ourselves with God's timing and direction.
