In the Family, Week 1 | Pastor David Payne

Sometimes loneliness isn’t just a thing we feel when there is nobody else present, it can even be something we feel when we’re surrounded by lots of people. The local church is a place like that sometimes! What if the loneliness we feel has more to do with having a lack of understanding of our DNA and framework of faith than with the presence of ‘people like us’?

Worry & Anxiety | The Fog, Week 4 | Pastor David Payne

The Fog
Foggy headspace is often plagued by consuming worry, and even physical manifestations of anxiety that only accelerate the worrisome merry-go-round! Worry can feel ’normal’ in our day and age, and with so many humans dealing with anxiety, we can feel resigned to ‘deal with it.’ God’s best for us is freedom in every way – including from worry and anxiety though!

The Fog
Every one of us has trauma in our past or present life. For some the scope and complexity is more severe, but everyone has to deal with it. Trauma often tries to dictate the methods of dealing with it, but trauma’s nature is to remain, not go away; as a result we have to ignore the voice of trauma and engage a better process.

Don't Be a Jonah
Most of the time we find ourselves telling God a lot about the problems we face. When there aren’t any problems, we don’t talk to him much, but then there are, we spend our time telling him about them. What if our prayer’s perspective was the problem? What is we reframed how we approach talking with God in the middle of the messiness? Jonah took that journey.

The closer we get to God the more we can believe that God’s invitations to use us are always going to be exciting, welcome and feel good. This can lead to risking the pleasure of our closeness with God, or thinking that we can ‘run from His presence’. But there is always more to the journey than we plan for.
