Revision... Wait to breathe until March 7th!

The Young Adults Study will take this Sunday off due to many of us having other commitments after church.  The following week, March 7, we will meet at 10:00 am before worship in the library.  See you in two Sundays!  Enjoy the break!

Breathe | 014 Rob Bell

With everything that we've got going on every day, how many of us ever think about our breathing, about the meaning of breathing? Yet, for thousands of years, people have understood that our physical breath is a picture of a deeper spiritual reality. In the Bible, the word for "breath" is the same as the word for "spirit." There's an inherent dilemma at the core of what makes us human. We've all been created in the image of God and possess immense power and strength. And at the same time, our lives are incredibly vulnerable and fragile. Maybe if we had more insight into the meaning of breathing, we would better understand how God created us as human beings.
