SUMMARY:Free Public Talk:  The Joy of Beginning with God
DESCRIPTION:Chesterfield YMCA\nChild care provided\n\nThe Joy of Beginning with God\n\nwith Mark McCurties\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA better understanding that God is all-good — and of the good God is causing — helps you experience more of that goodness: health\, peace\, safety\, and joy. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this lecture\, you’ll learn more about causation from a spiritual point of view. In other words\, what is God causing? What kind of effects does God’s causative power produce? The Bible promises that God is causing only good. So this lecture will explore how a better understanding of the good that God forever causes can help us to experience more of that goodness in the form of health\, peace\, and safety for our world. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n  \nAbout Mark McCurties\n\nEver since he was a little boy\, Mark had a deep love for the Bible. When he read about men and women in the Bible overcoming hatred\, famine\, war\, physical disease\, and other hardships\, their triumphs inspired him. It didn’t matter what the odds were\, or what conditions they faced\, individuals in the Bible seemed to flourish in adversity based on one common theme: their deep love for God. \nGrowing up in a Christian Science household\, there was another book that Mark loved to read daily: Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures written by Mary Baker Eddy. The very purpose of her book is to help unlock and reveal the deeper divine meaning and inspiration of the Bible. Together the Bible and Science and Health point to the practical healing and saving power of God and its present availability for all mankind. Mark knew that someday he wanted to share that healing message with the world. \nAs he grew into adulthood\, experiences in the field of education as a summer camp director\, outdoor educator\, athletics coach\, and resident counselor all helped to develop his understanding and practice of Christian Science. While working with young people\, Mark had multiple opportunities to witness God’s healing power. These examples proved to him that the healing power of the Christ is just as alive and relevant today as for the men and women of the Bible. In 2010\, with a desire to focus solely on healing through prayer\, Mark entered the full-time public practice of Christian Science. \n\nMark McCurties will give his talk at\nThe Chesterfield YMCA\n16464 Burkhardt Place\nChesterfield\, MO 63017\nFree Parking is available.\nChildcare will be provided.\nSee all information on the right side bar.
