How do we go about finding peace in times of stress and worry? Why does peace feel impossible? Is it as easy as welcoming God into moments of anxiety and conflict? It boils down to honoring one another in our differences, building up one another, taking action steps for our own mental health before we criticize someone else's. Watch Erika speak into this in this message.

Gratitude is a virtue that can transform every situation we encounter. But we have to practice it to experience that transformation. We are going to work on developing a theology of gratitude by looking at five different examples of people in the Bible who were able to give thanks in difficult circumstances, and we’ll see that we can do the same.

Is there believable unity in a racially divided world? Can racial reconciliation happen in the church? This past Sunday we were pleased to welcome a guest speaker to RVCC Parkland. Lonnie Arnold is the associate pastor at New Salem Baptist, a predominantly black church in Tacoma. Recently, Lonnie invited a few white pastors and some fellow black pastors to join him for a conversation. That initial exchange led to further gatherings as they helped each other broaden their perspective, and that first group has expanded to six groups of multiethnic pastors talking, growing, and dreaming about what churches working together could mean in our community. He is currently the founder and director of the Racial Reconciliation Network. As we've begun to talk about our desire for a church that reflects our community, we’re simply trying to live out Jesus’ call in John 17 for unity. We believe that if our church is going to make a difference in our community, it should also reflect our community.

This month our teaching series is True Virtue as we are examining four virtues that seem to be on the decline not only in our world but also within the church. Today we are going to be addressing two of those virtues – honor and integrity. If you haven’t watched/listened to those messages yet either here on the podcast or on our YouTube Channel, you might want to wait on this until you do to have a bit better context of our conversation today.

As Christians, telling our story to others doesn't have to be terrifying. It also doesn't have to be a soapbox of theology either. It simply is sharing how God has shown up in your life or the life of someone you know. It's as easy as telling a story about a friend. Join Mike and Sandi as they chat and tell stories in the final episode in the B.L.E.S.S. series here on the Podcast. Grab a paper and pen as Sandi has some great Quotables for us.

Should we honor others who have different values than us? Should we honor others who don't honor God in their lives? What does it even mean to honor others above yourself? As we begin our series called "True Virtue", let's begin by talking about what it really means to honor others. The Bible talks a lot about honoring God, those in authority, those around us so it's worth a healthy discussion.
