#27 How to Rewire Your Anxious Mind

In this week’s services, we look at anxiety through a biblical lens, discover how Jesus himself navigated overwhelming worry in Gethsemane. Beyond the well-worn "be anxious for nothing" platitude, we unpack practical strategies for transforming anxious thoughts through prayer, mindfulness and intentional focus. Learn why feeling anxious isn't sinful, how to shape worries into prayers, and experience the peace that "surpasses all understanding" even when circumstances remain unchanged. Perfect for anyone seeking authentic Christian approaches to mental wellbeing in our information-overloaded world.

#26 Letting Go of the Past and Finding Freedom in Christ

In this week’s service, Pastor Dave Connolly explores the liberating power of "forgetting what lies behind" from Philippians 3. Using the compelling analogy of marathon runners who stumble when looking backwards, Dave challenges us to fix our gaze firmly on Jesus rather than our past hurts and disappointments. Through practical wisdom and biblical truth, he dismantles cultural messages like "follow your heart" that keep us trapped, offering instead a vision of actively letting go while pressing forward. This isn't about denying painful experiences but choosing to release their power over us. Whatever you're facing today, Jesus stands ready, not just at the finish line but alongside you, coaching and believing in you every step of the way.
