Often on Sundays, we ask each other “How are you?!” A common response is “I’m good, how are you?” Can we share our struggles with each other? Can we let go of pride, become a little vulnerable, and allow our church family to help carry the burden? For we know that we were not made to be alone and together, we strengthen each other.

With each election year, we feel tension in our country increase. How do we protect our peace so we don’t run out of hope, joy, and love? Using Paul’s words, how do we know what is “right”?

We attend church on Sundays, but often life busies our minds the rest of the week. Our schedules are full and it can be hard to notice where God is moving in the midst of it. How do we learn to spend time with God “continually” as 1 Thessalonians asks us to? We will address two ways. Externally: God’s presence asks us to observe life through the lens of the Creator. Internally: looking at our hearts helps us to reflect on what God is saying or doing within us.
