END IT!
The End is Near! At least the end of our sermon series on
Endings and New Beginnings is coming Oct. 26th. It has
been one of the most rich series we have done in a long
time. In this concluding message I will explore some of
the factors that keep us from ending things that we know
need to stop. It is common to maintain habits, jobs,
relationships, and affiliations long past their usefulness
and value. We sometimes do so at the expense of our
wellbeing, at the expense of the wellbeing of the people
around us and the organizations we support. Why is it so
hard sometimes to end the things that hurt us?
