KNEW NORMAL: Week 2- "FAITH" 11.01.2021

“What to do when what you thought you knew turns out not to be true (anymore)” Let me tell you what this series is all about....… We keep hearing about the “new normal,” but, if we’re honest, most of us just want the old normal back.

KNEW NORMAL: Week 1- "CHANGE" 07.01.2021

What to do when what you thought you knew turns out not to be true (anymore)” Here’s the thing… We keep hearing about the “new normal,” but, if we’re honest, most of us just want the old normal back. But as so many things in our lives have changed in the last 12 months, what if what we knew as normal no longer exists? What if, in our pursuit of normal, we miss out on important growth?

Christmas at South Hills: Week 4 - "LOVE" 24.12.2020

When most of us in the modern West think of Christmas, our first thought is usually something connected to indoor trees, twinkling lights, the big fat guy in the red suit & sugar cookies. But in the ancient East, this season was one of Advent. It’s an old word with Latin origins that we don’t really use much anymore. It means “coming”. It was about anticipating the anniversary of the moment Di...

NO THANKS: Week 2- Embracing Contentment 24.11.2020

Thankfulness is a virtue we all recognize. Parents try to instill thankfulness in their kids, people buy packs of cards to say “thanks,” and there’s even a whole day each year dedicated to thankfulness. Yet, somehow, we grow frustrated with what we have, disappointed in who we’re with, and discouraged about where we’re at. We all want to be thankful, but why is it so easy for us to have no thanks...

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE: Week 2- "Post Election" 14.11.2020

Politics make people crazy. You’ve seen it recently—once level-headed people, turning their backs on life-long friendships & family members, and spiritual communities. People that have known & lived next to & served alongside each other for years aren’t on speaking terms, block each other on social media, and won’t even look each other in the eye at the grocery store. And all of us are...

Separation of Church & Hate: Part 1- Pre-Election 03.11.2020
