Unstoppable Forward Momentum: Holy Spirit Living - ACTS Series



Join Us This Sunday
Torrance Beach 8:30am
Norris Pavilion 10:30am
On August 6, in the year 1651, Francois de Salignac de La Mothe-Fenelon was born in a small village in France. He would have been unknown to us if it were not his bold, tenacious, and magnetic faith in Christ which earned him the highest honor in the Louis the XIV's court. He lived out his faith in France with such dignity and eloquence that one would write, "His eloquence was winning rather than vehement." Fenelon impacted many people in France. His faith was intoxicating. What makes a person attractive like that? We are about to start a very exciting new series through the book of Acts. It's the earliest account we have of the early church and it's powerful influence in the Romana empire at the turn of the century. It all starts with a proclamation. Acts 1:8 says, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." The entire world will be different when the Holy Spirit comes upon Jesus followers who move forward in their faith, gaining new ground by loving people and living out faith with a fiery and attractive force unknown to man. It's an unstoppable force. Unstoppable Forward Momentum begins now. 

See you Sunday,

18th Day of Lent: Seeing God’s Heart of Mercy Mercy is God’s “Slow Thinking”

One of the greatest pitfalls that we face these days is a " rush to judgment".. That's a phrase made (in)famous during the "OJ" Simpson trial by his attorney Johnnie Cochran.   Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel prize in 2002 for his research in behavioral economics, specifically judgment and decision-making.  His best selling book "Thinking Fast and Slow" exposes the faults and biases of our "fast thinking"....(our rush to judgment)....the difficulties of predicting what will make us happy in the future, overconfidence in corporate strategies, the profound effect of cognitive biases on everything from playing the stock market to planning our next vacation! Each of these decisions can be understood only by knowing how the two systems of "fast thinking" and "slow thinking"  work together to shape our judgments and decisions.   Both have benefits:  like "fast thinking" keeps you safe in emergencies where you mus...
