An Introduction to Compassionate Recovery
|
No one gets through life on earth without getting hurt. No one.
Not even Jesus. Bruises Always indicate something harmful has happened to us and everyone gets bruised in some way in the course of living life. Brokenness Afflicts everyone on some level. Broken Promises. Broken dreams. Broken relationships. Broken spirits. Bondages Often result from the very remedies we develop to deal with our bruises and brokenness. Drugs, alcohol, porn, distrust, bitterness, perfectionism, food, ambitions, possessing things, gambling, grief, workaholism, the internet, cutting, relational dependencies, and many, many other things can form barriers that keeps us from experiencing all God has in mind of us. Too often people, including professing Christians, think the solution to their bruises, brokenness and bondages is to somehow design a prescriptive antidote that if they just follow it faithfully, try harder and believe more life has to get better. |
However, what if the solution is more about something God wants to do in us rather than to us? What if it isn't so much about behaving better, being more self-controlled, or trying harder, but more about being transformed from the inside out? is what Compassionate Recovery is really about. And Compassionate Recovery is more than a quick fix.
It is an extraordinary journey to get to the root of bruises, brokenness and bondages, while simultaneously learning lifelong patterns that set people free and help protect against continuing in old ways. Real lasting life change takes time and investment, so the greater the level of involvement using the tools of Compassionate Recovery, the greater the personal return. Below you will find much detail about the elements that make up the whole experience, beginning with a short video by me to introduce the ministry. Hope you will consider giving Compassionate Recovery a try and a chance.

2021-22 Worship Songs
|
Each week before the lesson, we do at least 15 minutes of worship to give some time to slow ourselves down and prepare to hear God's word. Each week the playlist will be updated to include any new songs we use.
Songs previously used won't normally be added to the playlist a second time. |
Note: You can also use this as a continuous playlist by simply letting the next song play.
