The Good Life - Week 3 | Living the Right Life

TELEOIS (Greek) - ‘Something has achieved its purpose, fulfilled its intended goal, and has fully matured’. It's where we get the word 'telescope'! Only God is teleois, everything else is on a journey of becoming! For example, if happiness is a pursuit, you will never reach it! That road has no teleois ending. The Good Life isn’t a chase for happiness and blessing; it's a life LIVED OUT OF happiness and blessing.

The Good Life - Week 2 | What On Earth Am I Here For?

What on earth am I here for? Things are created on purpose for a purpose and so are we. The tension is, 'does my life really matter? Do I matter? Do I have a contribution to make to this world?' Jesus invites us onto the narrow road to discover and live the good life, which is not only a blessed life but is a purposeful life. You were created on purpose for purpose.

Games We Play - Week 4 | The Guessing Game

Have you ever seen a conflict resolved by yelling, fighting, attacking, defending, or manipulating? In human conflict, emotions are almost always high. Ever tried to convince someone of anything when they are emotional (and you are emotional)? It doesn’t work!! What does work however, is humility. The truth is that we have way more in common than we have that divides us.

Games We Play - Week 3 | The Shame Game

Playing the shame game creates a rising dichotomy for us in our relationships. We long for more loving, loyal and connected relationships, yet we can be quick to diminish those very same people, shoving them down for errors they make and elevating ourselves in moral superiority.

Games We Play - Week 2 | The Comparison Game

No matter where we may find ourselves in life, we are always looking around thinking, "Why don’t I have as much as they have? Why don’t I have the opportunities; he talent; the looks?" Comparison is so subtle because it is almost always internal. And it may be one of the greatest tools that can derail us...
