Sunday Worship: Life Rules

Sanctuary 1260 18th Street, Santa Monica, CA, United States

Rev. Dr. Kikanza Nuri-Robins, preaching;
Chela Metzger, Worship Associate.
   When a system is destabilized, overcommunication is necessary, and we tend to do the opposite. When there is a conflict in expectations or a clash of values, we tend to rely on rules and policies, rather than leaning into the values that undergird our relationship. When the environment is uncomfortable, we often flee to the margins, or grab our toys and leave for good. Come. Let's talk about it. Let's explore the challenging and the uncomfortable to find the spaces where we can learn and grow. What are the non-negotiable rules that frame your life? Join us for worship in-person and online.

Topic: We often think about an important, potentially life-changing decision in life as approaching a fork in the road. In fact, it can be more accurate, and useful, to recognize that there are often more than just two alternate pathways going forward. Thinking about a pivotal decision you were faced with in your past, in retrospect might you have made a better decision if you had also considered a third choice? Are there any upcoming decisions for which you are weighing multiple options?
