Depth

    01.14.22 | by Eric Segool

    Good Morning Hope Community!

     

    I hope you’re staying warm as today is supposed to be especially frigid. Looking on the bright side, parts of Vermont have a wind chill that’ll take them to negative 33…so, when compared to Vermont, we’re having a heatwave!

     

    On Sunday, we’ll continue our series on Capacity–God expanding our capacity through His endless potential! Our topic this week is depth, which is critical for a believer as they mature.

     

    Trials will come and go and there are times in life that can shake us to our core, but a life with depth can withstand the blows. Where problems often present themselves is in the depths of our mind, heart, and soul where there is unresolved pain. This can limit our capacity–Jesus wants to deal with the pain found in our depths, which isn’t always a comfortable place to go, but is so necessary. I look forward to sharing with you, so check out Mark 5: 21 – 34.
