Overcoming Disordered Desires: Moving Beyond Seven of Our Most Favorite Sins   

Will Willimon says that church is “lifelong learning in how to be a sinner.” Once we own up to the fact that sinning is part of who we are or that we have “disordered desires,” then we can honestly confront the persistency and complexity of those good gifts that we have a tendency to misuse so that we become separated from God. During the seven weeks of Lent, join us as we focus on the gifts beyond the sin and as we consider how we can live lives worthy of our calling.
