Pastor Ben here! I’m excited to share God’s word with you this Sunday. Because our time is filled up with a lot of good stuff I’ll make this to the point.
Life is hard, full of stress and life is not all about us. With those two ideas in mind, we can be strengthened by stress. Jesus knows exactly what is going on in our lives because He is always with us...and simply; He is a kind, engaged brother.
I’ve awkwardly entitled my message, “Stress: From Stupidity or for Service” because we are trying to figure out the purpose of our stress. By stress I mean pressure, not emotional turmoil. We need to investigate if our stress is the natural consequences of our stupid choices (I’ll define stupidity as knowing what’s best and choosing something else) or is it God using a hard time to prepare us to serve and minister to someone else.
Here are some of the scriptures we will be studying this Sunday: II Corinthians 1:3-6; Galatians 6:7-10; Daniel 3. See you then.

looking forward to it!
I loved this sermon by Pastor Ben. Especially the part where he said "it's not about us!" I know this, but somehow it is still so easy to make it all about us.
What I can't figure out is, how when you make a stupid decision, raise kids in a maybe not so great environment, do you give wisdom or life to a situation like that.
Also, the things that come out of left field and beat you down so hard, your kids are making bad decisions based on maybe your bad decisions from the past...how do we break the cycle, and how do we stay positive?
