Everywhere you look these days, it seems like treadmills are getting faster and ladders getting longer. More and more is being asked of people who were already over-functioning. As the expectations we face—from others, from society, from ourselves—ratchet upward, so too does the pressure we live under. Who of us couldn’t use a little relief? The Christian faith addresses this thirst most directly and profoundly via its conception of grace. Sadly, that aspect is not always at the forefront of how the faith is perceived or experienced. In our time together, I aim to explore how the grace of God intersects with our day-to-day lives and the desperately needed relief it brings for our worn-out people like you and me. My goal is that those attend would walk away a little lighter than when they came in, with renewed confidence in the Gospel message, and in possession of some fresh language and imagery to bring that message alive in whatever context in which they find themselves. We’ll also have some fun in the process. I hope you can come.
