  • This weekend, take a walk with God through your heart

    Last year, during one of the hardest times in my life, I attended a weekend CrossCurrent retreat offered by the Houston Vineyard. I was surprised to personally encounter God in very powerful ways throughout the weekend. The beautiful setting in Round Top, Texas was a safe and peace filled place away from all the noise of everyday life, and the material, stories, and leaders helped me bring every part of my heart into the light of God’s truth, to see how well it was partnering with God’s original design for experiencing the awesome joy and freedom He designed for his children to live in.

    At one time or another, all of us experience relational struggles. Even in the Church, many are often plagued with bad patterns and habits that interfere with daily life and create barriers to relationship with God and others. Gone unchecked, these can cause us to live in a “broken” state. God offers to meet us in these places to bring wholeness and transformation.

    This weekend, The Vineyard Church of Houston is offering a weekend CROSSCURRENT Retreat at the Round Top Retreat Center. The leaders and teachers will be introducing God’s perspective on sexuality and relationships. CROSSCURRENT materials are published by Desert Streams Ministries, who also produce the Living Waters course.

    We will cover:
    -God’s original intent for our lives,
    -the ways we have been wounded,
    -how we have tried to fill our needs as a result of those wounds, and
    -essential tools that enable us to better give and receive love in order to restore His image in us
