Synopsis: On this, one of the most sacred days in our church’s tradition, we turn to the pages of scripture. We look at the lives of those in scripture and realize that their lives were not always easy but through it all God always walked with them. It is unique how even in the most trying circumstance we find those places and spaces to commune with God. As we commune, we learn it is only when we seemly lose everything, God reveals the only thing we really need is Him. Join us for a Max Lucado story, ” Sacred Delight”.
Synopsis: Depression and anxiety are becoming more and more common in our society, and knowing how to navigate mental health in ourselves and others can be especially crucial. God knows our struggles even better than we do, and he knows how to walk through them with us if we’re willing to reach out.
Synopsis: Many of us have low-grade anxiety over things that we just want to ignore, but what hap-pens when your mental alarm bells are going off for no reason? Instead of letting anxiety dictate your thoughts, learn how to guide your thinking by facing your fears and listening to the truth of God’s word.
Synopsis: When we’re in the space between what we hope God will do and what he actually does, it can be easy to fall into fear and anxiety. But our God has a plan – and in the meantime is when we can lean on what we know is true about his plan for us.
Synopsis: We cannot defeat what we won’t define. When we have the tools to identify negative thought patterns in our lives, we can take steps forward towards replacing them with thoughts that are true, helpful, and kind.
Synopsis: “Sacred” is probably not the first word that comes to mind when most people think about work. But work is sacred because God is a worker, he created us in His image and called us to be his co-workers, and he’s given us work to do. All our work has a sacred side because we are to do it “as if we are doing it for the Lord” (because we are) and all Christians are called to the work of ministry by Jesus Christ.
