Part 3 of our Emotions series
Series Description:
God has given us the gift of emotions to help us connect meaningfully with others, find purpose and joy in life, and reflect His love to the world around us. Sadly, what often happens is that our emotions control us. Rather than understanding that our feelings are a tool to enrich our lives, we are dominated by the negative thoughts they generate within us. Join us throughout this teaching series as we deal with five key emotions that wound us: fear, rejection, bitterness, guilt, and despair. You won’t want to miss a week of this series as we confront the lies by conquering them with the truth.
