Sunday, December 10, 2023 Luke 1:5-40 Quote Ryan Holiday: “So much of the distress we feel comes from reacting instinctually instead of acting with conscientious deliberation.

Sunday, December 3, 2023 Mark 8:1-25 Quotes: Vaclav Havel: “Hope is a state of mind, not of the world.

Have you ever felt like life is stacked against you? Have you ever tried to make the right decisions and things don’t work out like you want? How do you handle those situations that leave you disappointed and wanting something different? Sunday, November 12, 2023 Genesis 40:1-23 Quotes: Walter Brueggemann says: “The world of despair believes that there are no new gifts, no fresh generosity, no possibility of newness of forgiveness, and so life becomes a zero-sum game to see who can stay the longest on top of the heap, all the while knowing that there will be no good outcome to the futile rat race.” Serene Jones says: “To forgive is to let go of what weighs us down so that we are freed to do the work of love in the world.
