We Find Joy in Connection

In her book, “Atlas of the Heart,” Brené Brown defines joy as “an intense feeling of deep spiritual connection.” She states that joy is characterized by a connection with God and others. Therefore, connection is fundamental to experience of joy. When have you expereinced joy in your connection with God and others while you were weary? This Sunday, we will listen to what the Bible has to say about joy in connection.

We Acknowledge Our Weariness

How does a weary world rejoice? When have you welcomed joy while simultaneously feeling anxious, afraid, alone, sad, or overwhelmed? What does joy do? How is joy different from happiness? This Sunday, we will listen to what the Bible has to say about these questions.

Living a Life of Integrity

How do you resist the urge to say “yes” to temptations? What do you pray for when you pray, “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”? This Sunday, we will explore the biblical meaning of this part of the Lord’s Prayer.

Paying It Forward

Where does our forgiveness begin? Where can we find the courage to forgive one another? What do we pray for when we pray, “Forgive our sins as we forgive those who sin against us?” This Sunday, we will listen to what the Bible has to say about these questions.

Be Blessed: Drawing the Circle Wider Still

In days filled with conflict and frustration, violence and war, what does it mean to draw the circle wider by living into God’s blessing in our lives and being a blessing for others? Does blessing change us? Does blessing invite us to live differently? As we observe the Sunday in the octave of All Saints’ Day and as we join in the work of our Church Conference, we will discover together God’s blessing that is always drawing the circle wider still.

Commission & Submission

What are we praying for when we pray, “Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven”? What would God’s Kingdom, where God’s will is done, look like? What is God’s call for us in building God’s Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven?
