Women's Retreat 2013

Join us as we look beneath our besetting sins to the deeper desires that drive them & discover our rescue within the gospel we thought we knew.

John Calvin once referred to the hearts of believers and unbelievers alike as “idol making factories.” We experience a consistent and at times overwhelming gravity pull to find life in an ever- changing array of false gods.

Approval, “Happy Marriage/Children”, career and financial success are just a few of the idols that drive us to anxiety, control, anger, and a host of other sins that erode our connection with God and one another. Like Paul, We don’t do what we truly desire, and we do what we despise.

We don’t need a “little help” to break this crazy cycle; we need an all out transforming rescue from the God who not only saves, but satisfies.
