Empty: Empty Beds

Elm City Vineyard Church Talks

Join us this Sunday as we continue our Empty series. We will focus on the Empty Bed. Is it a site of restless anxiety or a place of reflection and peace? Sometimes, our culture's messaging on sex and our trust in God's goodness in this tender area of our lives determines whether we hide in shame or isolation or whether we open up this part of our lives to God and others. We become open not because our romantic life is perfect (whatever that would mean) but because we'd rather have a loving God speak to us—personally and communally—than the broken messages we can get otherwise. As we hear God speak, we can try ourselves to be part of a healing culture that empties toxic lies around sex and relationships in order to be open to God's fullness and abundance regardless of our relationship status.

- Series Description -

Following our Easter service exploring the power of the empty tomb, we will spend several weeks looking at how resurrection changes emptiness. Because of the resurrection, we know that empty things can be blessed. And some things need to be emptied to be consecrated for blessings that go far beyond what we can see. How do our schedules, wallets, contacts, and more need to be emptied in order for us to experience God’s abundance? Come and learn more.
