Faith in an Anxious World - Life in an Anxious World - Wk 1

Anxiety and depression are on the rise, dominating the ways young people talk about their generation. While leaders and parents are becoming more aware of these problems, we often aren’t sure how to respond.
Join us for a four week study into how we can learn to live and thrive in complicated times. We’ll draw on an ancient spiritual practice: The Prayer of Examen in a new context: The Daily Replay to help bring clarity through 5 steps available at the pdf link.
In Week 1 – Life in an anxious world we will help to uncover, see and name the pressure that builds in and around us and how to use prayer to resolve.

How is it possible to find joy in hard times? When you face trials, a change of perspective might be what you need. Join us as we wrap up our series on 1 Peter, Different!
When talking about persecution, understanding the global impact of The Voice of the Martyrs (VOM) is foundational. VOM is a nonprofit, interdenominational missions organization that serves persecuted Christians around the world. Founded in 1967 by Richard and Sabina Wurmbrand, VOM is dedicated to inspiring believers to deepen their commitment to Christ and to fulfill His Great Commission — no matter the cost.

Church Is

The world of 2020 has been marked by chaos and cancellations.
Even the new 2021 has caused many to wonder about life.
And we know the church looks different. We all need to be reminded of what Jesus said to Peter about the church over 2,000 years ago: ”Upon this rock I will build my church and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.” The reality is that the church will never be cancelled! It was built by Jesus, built through His people and built to last...How to be IN.. FOR...BE THE church.
