The Theme of this Series is "Going Beyond the Familiar and Discovering God Anew"

Artists and spiritual writers through the millennia remind us of the pain, hope, fear and freedom that change and risk bring into our lives. We do all we can to keep at bay the truth that there are no guarantees in life. So often we mistake faith for our need to feel secure and expect our faith in God to take away all fear, insecurity and anxiety. We need only meditate on our Lord Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane to appreciate that following Jesus brings with it the radical need to trust in stark faith God's promise to take us through death into the fullness of life. Our prejudice, judgment and labeling of others give us a deadening "security." Going beyond false certainties in our daily lives demands of us a trust in God that takes us through fear, anxiety and death of the familiar into the freedom that comes with discovering anew the all-embracing width, depth, height and breadth of God's waiting love.
