Learning how to have emotional health 3/3/24

The state of our emotions, have a greater impact on our lives than the amount of money we make, the number of friends we have, or the amount of success we have in our employment.   Yet, to have emotional peace, control, and stability is something many of us find an elusive goal.   Where do emotions come from and how can they be managed in a healthy manner.  

Pastor Norm will help us to understand from a biblical and reasonable perspective where emotions come from, the role they are to play in our lives, and how we can disciple them to follow the Lord Jesus effectively so that we share not only God’s thoughts but HIS emotions in our lives.   

Learning how to have health in relationships 4/7/24

One of the most vital parts of our lives is our relationship with other people. These relationships become the source of the greatest joys and deepest heartbreaks.   How can we manage the relationships in our lives in a healthy and holy way which will produce the most happiness we can have now in an “East of Eden” world?   

Pastor Norm will outline what makes a relationship healthy or unhealthy.  Also what is a holy relationship and what is unholy? He will help us define the goal God has in each of our relationships and methods of seeking that divine design for the relationship. 

Learning how to solve problems 5/5/24

Everyone faces problems and struggles.   We all have to make decisions and what decisions we make can greatly impact our lives and the lives of others.   How can we make wise decisions to solve the problems we face?  Is there a method that can help us act with more love and logic when facing problems?

Pastor Norm will outline the P.E.A.C.E. process which is a biblical and reasonable approach to finding God’s answers to the problems of life.   By a careful and prayerful approach to the problem we can seek to decern the divine will for the circumstances we face which can give us peace of mind and heart when we act.

Learning how to manage time effectively 6/2/24

The most valuable part of our life is our time.   Our time is our life.  But how can we really invest well the 168 hours a week God gives us to live?   How do we keep “time management” from increasing our stress and worry?   What is the difference between “time management” and “life management”?

Pastor Norm will give practical well designed tools for “life management” that have been demonstrated to work well in the lives of the most effective people in the nation.  He will point out now to “redeem the time” we have been given to maximize kingdom impact.

Learning how to have sexual purity 8/4/24

Most people from the time they became teenagers struggled with how to remain sexually pure.  Our society does not promote sexual purity but idealizes being sexually impure as a normal part of life.  Yet, the negative impact this sexual impurity has had emotionally, psychologically, sociologically, and spiritually is beyond measurement.   The impact of the sexual revolution has become a sea of broken hearts, sexual abuse, and sexually transmitted disease.   Yet, just being Christian does not seem to enable us to resist the temptation of sexual pleasure.  So what can we do ?

Pastor Wise will outline a biblical and logical framework to help us govern sexual lust and help us learn how to strive to sexual purity in a culture that rejects the idea.  The renewing of our minds and hearts is possible by God’s grace and finding how to apply the gospel into the area of our sexual lives.

Learning how to handle suffering from sexual abuse 9/8/24

It is hard to estimate the number of people who are sexually abused.  About 25% of all children women and men suffer some type of sexual abuse before the age of 18 in our culture.  A multitude of adults also suffered sexual abuse even after they become 18.   Over half of women and almost 1 in 3 men have experienced sexual violence involving physical contact during their lifetimes.  The emotional and mental wounds such abuse cause us hard to handle and can impact our lives and relationships with negative impact.  What can we do?

Pastor Wise will provide practical and gospel centered means of healing from sexual abuse for both women and men.   God heals the broken hearted and shares in the affliction of those who have been abused.  God’s grace is greater than the wounds that have been suffered.   A clear outline on how to seek the healing of these intimate wounds will be provided and encouragement given to pursue the Lord’s help.
