Red Rocks Church Weekend Messages

<p>Doug Wekenman shares that we can all have a secret superpower: gratitude. Doug shares 4 ways that being grateful is a superpower: it unlocks the door to God’s presence, it makes what you have enough, it re-frames how you see the world, and it will get you through any trouble the world throws at you. </p>

<p>Jill Johnson encourages us to remember the promises God has given us because He keeps His promises. When we remember the times that God has provided for His people and for us, we build strength to trust Him again and again.</p>

<p>James Powell reminds us that we are called to live beyond our comfort zones. We are called to live an uncomfortable life by caring to count, chasing to connect, and choosing to celebrate. If God is to be our Comforter, we can boldly allow ourselves to enter into uncomfortable areas in order to live more Alive and Free.</p>

<p>The things we use to help us avoid pain are never-ending—addiction, anger, anxiety, comparison, or distraction; drugs, food, gambling, or social media. Doug Wekenman encourages us to find freedom from those things by feeling the pain and letting God heal it rather than just cover it up.</p>
