Welcome,
We are not a perfect church, and we don't expect you to be perfect either. we are striving to be a Christ like church. As Christians we are called to follow, Jesus Christ not just talk about Him. To take seriously the command to love God, to love our neighbor, and to love ourselves. Many churches will ask you to follow rules etc, we simply ask you to come to follow Christ and his teach

ings found in the bible. Let me ask which is easier to follow a bunch of rules or love your neighbor?/

Matthew 22:37-39 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.”

7 Day Anxiety Detox:

Jesus gave us the perfect formula for ditching anxiety.

Worry replaced by prayer equals the peace of God.

But remember, when we give our worries to God, we need to leave it with God. We cannot be double-minded in our praying. God grants a peace that this world can’t comprehend (John 14:27). It’s when we have every reason to lose our minds but because we trust God we are not moved. It’s this kind of faith that tells the world what kind of God we serve and how great He is.

The truth is, the same time we dedicate to worrying and ruminating on our fears is the same amount of time we could dedicate to praying instead. It’s all about what you choose to give your energy and your spirit over to in these moments. The difference is that one will keep you bound and the other will set you free.

Let’s do a quick exercise.

I want you to look around where you currently are and count 5 things that are red.

Ready, go!

Okay, now without taking your eyes from this page, can you remember how many

things surrounding you that were yellow?

Pretty hard to recall isn’t it?

That’s because you were so focused on red that you could not see yellow even though it was there.

So let’s say red is your anxiety and yellow is your faith.

The reasons to have faith, think of other solutions, and be grateful were around you, but you couldn't see them because you were too busying focusing on the red--the anxiety that existed.

This exercise can be applied to the perspectives we choose to have on life.

We will either look for ways to affirm our anxieties or seek ways to trust God and be grateful for what we do have.

Jesus had the perfect formula.

Action steps:

Scientific studies have proven that being grateful instead of focusing on the negative:

Increases mental strength

Improves psychological health by increasing happiness and reducing depression.

Greatly improves confidence and self-esteem

Today let's focus on the reasons to have faith. List 10 things that you are grateful for right now or in this season of your life.

Today's Prayer: Lord help me not to become too distracted to see how much you have blessed me.

4:6-7
