STUCK// With my relationships by Napoleon Church of the Nazarene

Pastor Ken Behrens takes on our third week of the Stuck series, with "Stuck in my circumstances". Pastor Ken takes scripture from the book of Habakkuk to talk about how we become "Unstuck" from our circumstances when we let God redeem our plans and embrace "Yet Living!"

Week two of the series "Stuck", talks about being "stuck with myself". "Why do I do what I do? Why do I keep doing what I do?" Pastor Chip highlight three areas where we can be stuck with ourselves: Our Trying, our Isolation, and our Paradigm. We become "Unstuck" from ourselves when we surrender to the Lord's power, embrace His community, and when we are overwhelmed by His love.

We begin week one of a four week series titled, "Stuck". This week, Pastor Chip talks about being "Stuck...in my past". We can feel stuck in our past mistakes, our past hurts, and our past identities, but we can become unstuck when our failure is redeemed, our hurt is released, and our identity is realized though Christ Jesus.
