This sermon is about a few of the issues that affect our happiness within our relationships. 2012/05/06 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/21060.html This Sunday we will discuss attitudes and perspectives that if we choose to integrate into our outlook on life will increase our sense of happiness. 2012/04/29 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/21049.html We all value our own happiness, but we also have habits that undermine it. This Sunday we will talk about three common attitudes and practices that will undermine our ability to be happy. 2012/04/22 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/21032.html What are we all looking for out of life? I think you could say we are all looking for happiness. This Sunday we will start a conversation that will take place over the next few weeks about what makes for lasting happiness and the things we do that undermines our happiness. 2012/04/08 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20998.html 2012/03/11 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20954.html 2012/02/12 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20894.html One of life's most powerful shifts can occur when we no longer think of God as someone "out there," but as the One who is also right here, always here within us. This Shift brings new perspective. No longer do we feel drained by the conflicts in our lives, but we see the way the Lord is working through them to lead us to a higher place. 2012/02/05 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20886.html Often, when conflict arises, we choose to bury the tension, preferring to get on with our daily agenda. Inevitably, though, the unresolved conflict drains energy from us until we bring it to our awareness. This week, we will discuss shifting our awareness by paying attention to the conflict. 2012/01/22 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20857.html It is easy to feel hurt when someone turns away from something we offer. This Sunday we are talking about reframing rejection so that we don't carry the burden and hurt of another person's choices. 2012/01/15 http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20853.html Losing contact with someone we love through death or immigration creates a particular kind of loneliness. This loneliness is a separation from people we would wish to have more contact with. Unfortunately, in many cases more contact is not possible, and so we call this loneliness a loss. We have lost something that cannot be regained. So how do we deal with this loneliness? Please note this sermon is the second in a series of two. You will get more out of this sermon if you listen to the first. http://www.newchurchaudio.org/event/20836.html
