We return to Mastering Your Mind. With this new series, we’ll identify and root out the most common forms of distorted thinking that hold us back.

This week: low self-esteem.

Love of self — the healthy kind that the Bible speaks of — means feeling genuinely good about who you are at the deepest core of your being.

Do you? Do you love yourself that way?

Listen or watch as we seek to replace distorted thoughts with live-giving alternatives.

 She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not [40:12m]: Play Now | Play in Popup

In this sermon we hear from Melody Merida, Ceci Spence, and Chris Tenpas, three of our folks who went to Sudan earlier this year.

We’ll learn about their journey — both physical and spiritual. We’ll have a chance to think together about what we may be called to do as we seek to make a difference in this place of great need.

In addition to the presentation by Melody, Ceci, and Chris, there was also a video presented as part of this sermon. Watch that video here.

 What a Little Love Can Do! [33:12m]: Play Now | Play in Popup

For the next few weeks, we’ll look at common, distorted patterns of thinking that drag us down, and pair each of those with a spiritual antidote.

This sermon tackles fatalism – a victimized pessimism that tells us life is bad and nothing good can ever come from what we do. Know anyone like that?

Contrast that with faith. And we’re not talking about perky, shallow optimism. Real faith is much grittier, less shiny, and much more enduring.

 Think Different [43:27m]: Play Now | Play in Popup

We’re offering something different this Palm Sunday.

Melody Merida presents the message in the form of a story about a king who sends his son to make peace with the subjects of his kingdom. The son is sent on a donkey, like a common beggar, to denote the humility of the king.
