Have you ever noticed how sometimes something happens, and say three or four different people witness that event happening, and those three or four different people describe the event interpret the event in three of four different ways? People witness the same event, but they see it, report it differently.
Why is that?
It could be several different reasons, but sometimes it's just that they're looking at the same event from different angles, different vantage points. Not just physically speaking, but perhaps also in terms of past experiences and a host of other factors. All these things cause them to look at and interpret the same world they share in different ways. We all live in, look around at, the same world, and experience many of the same events and phases of life, but we process the events of life differently, from differing perspectives.
What does Christian faith add to one's perspective, helping us look at our lives and our life's events differently? That's what we'll be exploring in a sermon series called, "Perspectives - It's All How You Look At It", starting September 19. Here are some of the sermon topics:
September 19 - Author and Plot
September 26 - More Than One Power at Work
October 3 - God is Only, Always Good
October 10 - Not Prevention, But a Way Through
October 17 - This Isn't All There Is
