On Sunday, May 17, we started our new sermon series called The Good and Beautiful God (based on the book by the same name, written by James Bryan Smith). The heart of this book and our series is teaching us how to become more like Jesus. We will do this by exploring four elements: adopting the narratives of Jesus, engaging in soul training exercises, participating in community, and being led by the Holy Spirit. Peter Benedict, one of our Pastors, explored these four elements and introduced us to our first soul training exercise: sleep. To hear Pete’s message, click one of the two buttons below.

The Fruit of the Holy Spirit: Self-Control (Peter Benedict)
Where do you need God’s guidance in self-control? Is it in being kind to your friends and family? Is it in holding your tongue during discussions and debates? Is it in fighting your addiction? The good news is that God has the power to guide you in the fruit of self-control. Pete talked about the fruit of self-control, how God helped him grow in self-control, and what the Bible says about God’s power to help you grow in self-control in his message on Sunday, May 10.

The Fruit of the Holy Spirit: Patience (Peter Benedict)
We are currently in a season of waiting. Waiting for healing, waiting for decisions to be made, waiting to be together again…the list goes on.
