A Spacious Christianity

Let It Go, with Rev. Kally Elliott.

First Presbyterian Church of Bend Season 2024 Episode 32

Let It Go, with Rev. Kally Elliott. Series: Re-Shaped A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: John 12.24-23.

Join Rev. Kally Elliott as she discusses the importance of embracing new life through the act of letting go. Kally shares personal experiences of releasing her child into God’s hands, letting go of her role as a parent, and letting go of negative self-talk to heal. Can we let go of the old to make way for new life, whether it be through embracing change, forgiveness, or spiritual growth?

About the Series, Re-Shaped: Our brains were designed to be suspicious of change, and for good reason – homeostasis in good measure helps us thrive, protecting us from danger. But if we look closely at what the Creator set in motion, we find that change is actually the most constant part of life and necessary for animating our spirits as we find renewed purpose throughout life. Jesus advocated for changes that would keep us moving toward greater goodness!

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.

We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
