While we don't always choose our circumstances, we do have the ability to choose our responses. But the response that has the potential to reverse the natural course of things isn't natural at all. Never underestimate the power of a measured response. We have no idea what hangs in the balance of our decision to respond rather than react to events we did not choose. Our responses can make us better than ever.
Join us this Sunday as Pastor Eric continues the "Better Than Ever" sermon series with the message "Responding to a Crisis." Worship is streaming at 10:30 AM at live.asburylv.org.
