Lent: Shadow & Substance

We live in a world of contradictions. We are spiritual beings in earthly bodies. We are loving creatures in a hateful world. We are designed for relationships but religiosity surrounds us. What do we do with all this tension? We are called to be people of substance yet we are surrounded by shadows. Well, God calls us not to shy away from the shadows but to enter into it. In fact, God calls His people to enter into the tension that is this world, to not ignore or run away from the contradictions but to live in it and to be a light in the darkness.
Join us on Sunday March 19 as we explore what it means to live in the shadows as people of substance.

Colossians 2:16-23

Know Thyself

How well do you know yourself? Really. There have been dozens, if not hundreds, of patients I’ve encountered in the hospital who have suffered because of their lack of self-awareness. You would be shocked at some of the stories I’ve heard that make me want to scream, “WAKE UP!” (I’ll share some stories this month.) Yet, we all suffer to varying degrees from lack of self-awareness. But how can our unexamined self hurt ourselves and our neighbors?
