Session 11

The Abundant Life | Part 1

Whether it’s loss, rejection, conflict, or a host of other things, difficulties in life happen to all of us. And with those circumstances comes a list of undesirable emotions: anxiety, regret, fear, and so on. That raging river of emotions is what we need to navigate well if we want to experience the abundant life Jesus talked about.

The Abundant Life | Part 2

There is a bridge to help us cross the raging river of emotions we encounter when life throws something difficult at us. That bridge can get us to the abundant life we desire—a life that has joy, peace, and freedom.
