Going Back to Go Forward to True Peace

When you think about your past, your family of origin, your formative years, what do you remember? What comes to mind as the most significant? Do you know what's "back there"?

Living in Christ involves growing in maturity as a person so that we can fully be loved and love others.

Listen to the message from Sunday morning to learn more about the importance of knowing what is in the past so that you can know how to move forward. True peace comes when we face ourselves and allow the Holy Spirit to come and show us the way forward.




 TAKING IT HOME:

CONNECT: Who are you being discipled/challenged by? Who are you discipling?

ENGAGE: What might be keeping you from saying "Yes" to Jesus in spite of the mess it may cause?

Keep Silent

Let All the Earth Keep Silent Sunday's message focused on learning to be silent. Silence is perhaps one of the most counter-cultural disciplines we can enter into as Christians. We were challenged to spend 2 minutes of silence twice a day in order to begin shifting our busy and noisy lives. How has your silence been? Have you been able to make time to be silent? If so, what has it been like? We would love to hear. Click here to let us know. If you missed the service, you can watch it by clicking below.
