    The Answer To Worry

    Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Jan 28, 2013
     | 6,452 views

    The scripture says Do not worry... but that sounds easier said than done. The scripture also tells us how to avoid worry.

People are more susceptible to stress during this season than any other. Primarily, this is because we become so much busier this time of year. We have ...read more

     | 9,116 views

    We all have regrets, things we've done or have had done to us in the past. Paul describes two ways of dealing with these regrets- worldly and godly. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell on living without regret.

    Our current series is called “What Keeps You Up At Night?” We’ve explored anger/bitterness, concern for family, and today I want to talk about regret. It’s the idea of dealing with our mistakes/sins, whether real or perceived from our past. Personally, the concept takes me back to my ...read more
