Many of us struggle with being able to forgive ourselves for our past mistakes or habits that we have been unable to set down and walk away from, or even from things that happened to us that weren’t our fault.

This week we will talk about what we can do to move on from debilitating shame or excessive guilt and begin to see ourselves the way that God sees us–a beautiful part of this creation. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” [Jeremiah 29:11]

It is comforting to know that God forgives us immediately of everything we ever do that is wrong or hurtful. And, at the same time, we know that it doesn’t do a whole lot of good if we don’t ever change our behavior and stop acting in selfish or hurtful ways–God’s forgiveness is essential meaningless.

This week we will dig into how we can make changes that give God’s forgiveness meaning; that causes it to have real impact on our life.

See you Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Forgiving others takes time. That is okay. The sooner we can begin the journey from resentment to forgiveness the sooner we will find peace and connection.

This week we will talk about the journey toward forgiveness. We hope you will join us for this important discussion and find support for your own journey forward.

Sunday 10:30 a.m.

What if you could feel more free, more light, more happy and more peaceful? Well you can. If you have ever struggled with feeling like you can’t forgive yourself for mistakes you have made, or had difficulty with forgiving others who have harmed you in some way, or even feel that things you have done have somehow made you unforgivable in God’s sight you are encouraged to join us this Sunday as the issue of forgiveness is addressed.  Come and see just how big God’s love is and how to begin working through issues around forgiveness.

This week we are beginning a six week series on Forgiveness. There are small groups beginning next week around this subject as well if you are interested.

See you Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

If it is true that we are what we eat, what does that say about our spiritual life?

There is an importance in trying to eat well and be as active as we can be so that we can have a healthy mind in a healthy body. And it is even more important to feed our mind with the kind of things that lead to true intelligence and wisdom.

This Sunday we will explore the connection between healthy living for the purpose of being of service to those around us. How can we best provide for our eternal health and well being?

See you Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

How many times have we been unable to let go of an idea, opinion, attitude or behavior and because of that have felt trapped or enslaved by it, not to mention, been hurt by it?

The story of the Children of Israel as slaves in Egypt working to make bricks from mud and straw to build monuments for Pharaoh pictures being in bondage to an unhealthy sense of self which manufactures justifications for our behavior and attitude, and which slowly destroys our happiness and peace of mind.

Are you ready to be set free from this kind of disfunction? If so there is a way out.

We will talk about this on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Hope to see you there!

One of our very human struggles arises around whether we are being led and supported in a path to somewhere good and peaceful or whether we are floundering on our own with no support. When bad things happen or if we are struggling it is easy for us to feel like we are alone and abandoned. When things are going well for us it is easier for us to believe that we are being led.

This Sunday we will talk a little about God’s system of guidance called the Divine Providence. There are certain things about it that are so important to know and that help to make sense of why things happen the way they do. We hope to see you Sunday at 10:30 a.m. or feel free to watch live on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/BoulderNewChurch/

As the Children of Israel entered the Promised Land they were commanded to
destroy the city of Jericho. They do it by circling the city for six days blowing their trumpets. On the seventh day they circle it seven times blowing their trumpets. The seventh time around they make a great shout and the walls come tumbling down. Then they are commanded to completely destroy everyone and everything in the city.

What does God want us to learn by making stories like this part of the Divine message in the Word?

We will talk about that on Sunday at 10:30 a.m. We hope you can join us!

The best way to ensure that our stress levels go down on a regular basis is to live our life with integrity. We all know that when we act in ways we know we shouldn’t that our anxiety begins to rise and things don’t seem to go as smoothly as would like. Of course, there will be things outside of our control that cause us to feel stressed, but we can make dramatic changes in our overall feeling of well being by doing the right thing–by rejecting selfishness and hurtful behaviors.

We will discuss why this is so and how to do a better job of keeping on track Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

Many of us are very good at mulling over in our minds bad things that we are worried will happen. This mental activity drains us of vital energy that could rather be used to do useful things, and it also robs us of the possible joy we could be experiencing in the given moment.

This week we will talk about a better way to live and experience daily life: a way that could leave you feeling rather happy.

See you Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
