Your New Default
From Worry to Generosity
May 12, 2019 • Kim Edmondson • Matthew 6:19–34
It’s so easy to worry, and if you’re honest, it probably seems a little annoying when Jesus tells you to simply stop worrying (which he does). The real question is how? We’ll look at what Jesus says the chief causes of worry are, and what to do about them.
From Orphan to Adopted
May 5, 2019 • Luther & Ronda Ramsey • Romans 8:14–18, Ephesians 1:5
In a world of outrage, it’s easy to be angry. Whether your anger shows up in private, public or whether it’s just something you feel but rarely show, what’s underneath that? We’ll look at where your anger comes from, how to deal with it, and how to replace it with profound gratitude.
From Suspicion to Trust
April 28, 2019 • Dr. Carlo Serrano • 1 Corinthians 13:1–7
Remember when you were a kid and trusted at a level that seemed, well, childlike? But our trust gets broken. Over time, we become suspicious of people, organizations and even God. What happens to us when suspicion becomes our dominant view? Everything changes when you stop assuming the worst and start believing the best.
From Death to Life
April 21, 2019 • Chris Edmondson • John 11, 2 Corinthians 5:17
We live in a culture where we’ve never had more options to choose from, but in many ways, we also feel chained down by those same choices. We can feel the pressure that comes from being tied to our job, to a broken relationship, to our past, to our financial situation, to inner battles, etc. No matter how hard we try, why is it so hard to feel free in our daily lives? We long to be better, but can we get past our default setting? The Good News of Easter is, “YES!” We can experience real freedom in our souls and lives, but many times something has to give. It’s going to get worse before it gets better. Something has to die.
