Langdon Palmer

Ever notice how self conscious you can feel in public? We all want to look good to others. Sometimes we waste a lot of energy worrying about what others think of us. But what happens when we start intentionally trying to draw attention to ourselves? More than we think. This week Jesus both talks about the three crucial spiritual practices of - Giving, Praying, & Fasting - AND - shows us how these beautiful things can become ugly if done for the wrong motives. Join us as we explore the world of telling stories and discover we have the chance to live within the greatest story ever told. When we live inside that story we don’t have to spend so much energy worrying about how we are coming across to others.
