| "Superficiality is the curse of our age. The doctrine of instant satisfaction is a primary spiritual problem. The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people. The classical disciplines of the spiritual life call us to explore beyond surface living into the depths." --Richard Foster, The Celebration of Discipline Each month for the rest of the calendar year at The Village Chapel, we will focus our attention on one of the classical spiritual disciplines of the Christian faith. On the first Sunday of each month we'll break from our regular verse-by-verse teaching to do a topical study of one of the spiritual disciplines. Then, throughout that month we'll be encouraged and equipped to develop that discipline both as individuals and as a church family. This Sunday evening, March 2nd our focus will be on the spiritual discipline of Confession. Precisely what is confession? Is it really good for the soul? What does the Bible teach about when, to whom, and how we should confess our sins? I hope you'll plan to join us as we learn more about this wonderful means of placing ourselves before God for healing and forgiveness.

Jim Thomas, Pastor www.TheVillageChapel.com Rethinking church: new forms for ancient truths "...and they believed. And when they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped." Ex. 4:31 The Village Chapel is a relationship oriented, non-denominational church that meets on Sunday evenings at 5 pm for worship. The service includes acoustic praise and worship music, congregational readings, prayer and a verse-by-verse Bible study. We meet in the atrium room high atop the Hampton Inn on Crestmoor Rd, just off Hillsboro Rd in Green Hills/Nashville. Loving childcare is provided.
