‘Principles We Can Use to Simplify Our Lives’

Excerpts from sermons to be delivered around Orange County on Sunday:

SPIRITUAL PRINCIPLES: “We are constantly being bombarded with all kinds of information through electronic and print media. This constant stream can lead us to feel rushed, indecisive or overwhelmed. But there are spiritual principles we can use to simplify our lives and rediscover what is really important, that which nurtures our souls.”

--Rev. Margaret Mohit, speaking at 9 and 10:30 a.m. services at Unity Community Church, 22911 Mill Creek Road, Laguna Hills. www.unity-lh.org or (949) 472-9230.

*

MANY BATTLES: “Like David and Goliath, there are many battles in life that must be fought in faith against great giants.”

--Rev. David Bearden, speaking at 10:15 a.m. services at Sunny Hills Church of Christ, 2255 N. Euclid St., Fullerton. (714) 525-1221.

MORE LIKE CHRIST: “Center your whole life on this one controlling attitude: I want to be more like Christ. That is so easy to say, but do you recognize the obvious corollary? If you want to be more like Jesus Christ, then you want to change!”

--Rev. John McFarland, speaking at 10 a.m. services at Christ Our King Fellowship, meeting in the Community Room of the Anaheim Memorial Medical Plaza, Anaheim Hills. (909) 737-6661.
