Sunday Recap – November 25

Sunday morning was the seventh and final Sunday of our sermon series ‘Beneath the Surface’.

In his book Emotionally Healthy Spirituality, Peter Scazzero writes these provocative words: “Emotional health and spiritual maturity are inseparable.  It is not possible to be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature.”  Most often, the places where we get stuck in our spiritual journey and the health of our relationships is beneath the surface, where we lack awareness.  We don’t know what we don’t know.  But what if God wants to heal and transform you from deep within?  What if you could really live more fully into God’s design for your life and your relationships?
