Dealing with Life's Hurts, Habits and Hang-ups
The fact is life is tough. We live in an imperfect world. We're hurt by other people, we hurt ourselves and we hurt others. The Bible says, "All have sinned." That means none of us is perfect. We've all blown it. We've all made mistakes. This series is for everybody. Everyone needs recovery unless you've lived a perfect life. But if you haven't lived a perfect life, if you've ever been hurt, if you've ever had a hang-up or a habit that you'd like to get rid of, you need recovery. Senior Pastor Rick Ensrud begins this series on August 12, 2007.

On Wednesday, August 1, 2007, at 6:10 PM, the people of the Twin Cities were graphically reminded that not everything in the world is good and happy. On that day the Interstate 35W bridge collapsed into the Mississippi River, killing 13 people and injuring scores of others. Times like these call for Christians to be ready to give a word of grace seasoned with Biblical truth so that we can help people understand that although our world is broken, God is still in control, and all history is in His hands.
