Think about the last time you heard the word blessed. What came to mind? For many of us the word blessed conjures up images of the coolest clothes, the newest gadgets and a worry-free life. But when we look at what God has to say about being blessed, we realize that we probably have things pretty mixed up. Because if being blessed is more about our relationships—and what we do with them—than the stuff we have, we may have some re-evaluating to do in order to redefine what it means to be blessed and realize that we might just be more blessed than we originally thought.
This series may seem pretty practical and basic on the surface, but don’t let it fool you. “Blessed” challenges you to look at your lives—your stuff, your relationships and your day-to-day circumstances—the way Jesus asks us to. And while this seems simple, for most of us this is a completely upside-down way of viewing life. While we may think we know what it means to be “blessed,” this series asks us to rethink what this word means and take an inventory of the blessings that are present in our lives.
Join us, beginning Wednesday, October 17th for this 3 week series.
