The Connected Life
‘Connection is the key to human thriving'
(Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales and Professor Robert Waldinger, from a report about the dangers of hyper-connectivity called ‘The Power of Human Connection in a Distracted World’)
We live in a society in which there is greater recognition about the dangers of hyper-connectivity. We’re always connected, but less and less content.
Always on, but never at rest. Maybe the solution is to reassess who, or what, we are connected with?
Join us for this four-week series based on Romans 12 where we’ll re-evaluate some key 'connections' in our lives, and discover four key areas of connections that we commonly forget.
Not me, but you
It can often seem like we live in a world where we are told that true happiness comes when we focus on ourselves and take care of our own needs. But what if we realised that something else might be true? That rather than focusing on ourselves, instead, the greatest source of fulfilment we could ever find comes when we focus on ‘You’. As we journey through the book of Ruth, we will discover the radical difference putting God at the centre of our lives can make, both for us and for those around us.
I Want In
Mahatma Gandhi famously once said, ‘I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians.’ It’s not difficult to understand what he meant. Why is it that followers of Jesus seem, sometimes, to be so unlike the Jesus they follow? Why does Christianity often appear to be bad news, rather than good? And, for some of us, the question is much more personal…why is it so hard to see any change in our own lives? If Jesus came to change the world, why can’t I seem to change the patterns and actions in my own life?
