Happy New Year! Let's see, how long will my resolutions last? Why are they so hard to keep?
What if there was a resolution that could change our lives that wasn't about what we could make happen, but something we could let happen? This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will look at a new kind of resolution.
January marks the beginning of the new calendar year, but really September is when everything kicks off. Vacations end, school starts, football begins - this year we even have an election this Fall.
Storyline is so excited about what we are going to consider together this year. Mike Gathright kicked off a brand new series of talks that will help us get the most out of this fresh start!
This January we've been talking about the important and complicated issue of human growth and change, and how we might live the good life. And we've seen how Jesus brings an unprecedented perspective to this topic.
Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, Mike Gathright concluded this series with one last look at the wide gap between what the world says will satisfy us, and what God is inviting us into...as well as, how we might accept His offer.
Okay, so we are four weeks in to the new year... how are the resolutions going?
Why is that? Why is it SO hard to change?
This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, Mike Gathright considered the upside down way that Jesus believes real change happens in us.
We used to live in a world that felt like a boating on a lake, it was peaceful and predictable, we could set our own course and see what was in front of us. Nowadays it feels more like riding a raft through rapids on a river. EVERYthing is changing all the time, we have little control and can't see what's around the next bend. How can we find peace and purpose in the rapids of life? This is the question Mike Gathright will considered Sunday at Storyline's Gathering.
How is the Christmas shopping going? Only two weeks to go! Do you worry more about the gift wrapping or the gift? What is on the inside is more important than the outside - we get that when it comes to Christmas presents, but how about for ourselves?
This Sunday morning at Storyline's Gathering Amy Marohn looked at the difference between the wrapping and the gift.
We all are seeking satisfaction in life, but how do we get there? How can we tell we are moving in the right direction? How do we keep score in life?
Jesus revolutionized the world by establishing a completely unique path, a surprising and counterIntuitive way of living. He promised satisfaction, then invited us to a way of keeping score that has changed the world and could even change us - if we let it.
We seem to know a lot - all kinds of good and helpful things yet we don't do them. We also know what to avoid, and sure enough... we DO them! Why?
This week at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright considered what it is that keeps us from the good, traps us in the bad and how the Grace of God can propel us forward.
This week at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright began a four week series about change. How do we continue to move forward, change and grow when life can be so challenging and daunting? Jesus offers us an amazing perspective and incredible source of power to do so!
