Reclaimed Jamin Melanson

Faith is more often used as a noun, when it is really meant to be a verb. In the final chapter of Reclaimed, we look at how a life of faith is a vastly different way of life. Or at least, it should be. Too often, we let fear overshadow living by faith. It is time for the Church to rise up and be reclaimed through tranquility in regard to living by faith.

Anxiety in recent years has exploded off the charts. God, however, does not desire for us to live a life trapped in our anxieties. He wants to reclaim us through Tranquility because He has given us a beautiful promise: His peace can guard our hearts and mind. https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/ services/publications/diseases-conditions/mood-anxiety-disorders-canada.html

In part 4 we are going to spend time looking at being Reclaimed through Tranquility. This week, we are digging into what it means to be thankful when it is super easy to complain and be frustrated. We look at the biblical character of Daniel and learn what he can teach us about being reclaimed through tranquility.

On the night before He died, Jesus prayed a prayer for the future church. He prayed we would experience such perfect unity that the world will know about Him. Today, over 45,000 different denominations of the church exist, and we all need to be reclaimed with loyalty.

God gives us friendships that reach deep into our souls. These relationships help us be reclaimed with loyalty. Life is not meant to be lived alone. And sometimes these friendships reach so deep that they are no longer friends, but family.
