Reenergizing Your Life

Part 1 of the series Reenergizing Your Life

Pastor Rick Warren begins this new series called Reenergizing Your Life with the conviction that passion is what energizes life, that God made us to live a passionate, vital, vibrant life. In this message, Pastor Rick reveals the eight "passion killers" from the Bible; emotional, relational and spiritual. A lack of purpose in life or overwork, even Christian service, will sap the passion out of our lives. Unresolved conflicts or neglecting our relationships with others will steal our energy and enthusiasm. And spiritually, if we don't take the time to be quiet and let God speak to us, spend time every day in his Word, make every effort to apply it to our lives, and allow Him to express His message through us we will lose our God-given passion. Pastor Rick offers the antidote to a loss of enthusiasm and vitality to believers in this message.

Part 2 of the series Reenergizing Your Life

This second in the Reenergizing Your Life series is taught by Rick Warren and focuses on a favorite scripture for many of us, Matthew 11:28-30(RSV). Pastor Rick says that in these three verses, Jesus gives us everything we need to know about stress management. His three steps for reducing the pressure come directly from them. First we need to come to Christ; second, we need to give up control, and finally we need to learn to trust God. If we follow Jesus example of simple obedience, and we do not worry about pleasing everybody, we will live a life of reduced stress. Come to Christ, give up control, learn to trust God; these are the secrets of stress management.
