Abortion

Many women hide the secret of abortion deep in their hearts and they are suffering severe consequences. They carry a great burden of shame and failure, afraid to reveal their hidden pain, and by doing so are forced to endure the long-lasting effects in isolation.

Anger

We all feel angry at times – it's part of being human. Anger is a normal, healthy emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life.

​

There are many different reasons why we might feel angry.

• We may feel anger at having been treated badly or unfairly by others.

• Our anger may be a reaction to difficult experiences in our daily life, our past, or in the world around us.

Forgiveness 

Forgiveness is not always what we think it is. In fact, when we are faced with a deep hurt that shakes us at our core we wonder if forgiveness is even possible. As we gain a clear understanding of forgiveness, it becomes a lot less complicated.

Relationships 

God views relationships as a core part of human life, emphasizing the importance of love, companionship, and mutual respect, with the central message being to "love one another as I have loved you" - essentially stating that relationships should be built on deep, selfless love, as exemplified by God's love for humanity; this is most clearly seen in John 13:34-35.

Spiritual Growth

Spiritual growth is the process of becoming more and more like Jesus Christ. When we place our faith in Jesus, the Holy Spirit begins the process of making us more like Him, conforming us to His image. Spiritual growth is perhaps best described in 2 Peter 1:3-8, which tells us that by God’s power we have “everything we need” to live lives of godliness, which is the goal of spiritual growth.
