New Sermon Series...begins on May 16th
Win the Day: Stress Less and Accomplish More!
Too many people delay, downsize, or shrug off their dreams just because they don't know where to start, but playing it safe doesn't account for the massive cost of a life not fully lived. Win the Day is the jump start you need to go after God-sized goals, one day at a time.
There are seven powerful habits that can help you turn yesterday's regrets and tomorrow's anxieties into fuel for a better today. Imagine how much better your life would be if, instead of obsessing over the past or worrying about the future, you set out to win today...and every day thereafter. Here's the bottom line.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Our job is to Win the Day, that's it.
You are always welcome to invite a friend especially now as we can safely gather outside for worship. Come and help us unpack these 7 Habits that can help all Christians stress less and accomplish more!
En Agape' Rev. Michael |
