     | 2,190 views

    How do we rekindle our childlike faith of wonder and awe. Dare we be bold and love others and work to be the church that God wants.

    In the name of the father, son and Holy Spirit. Amen.

     | 1,989 views

    Our lives are all full of things we need to accomplish, spiritual, social, and vocational demands that fight for our attention. All needs are not created equal, and we shouldn’t give them the same weight in our lives. That’s where a practice of healthy priorities comes in.
