Cornelius was just that, yet he found a profound spiritual depth amidst the chaos of his world. His story, as told in Acts 10, resonates powerfully today.<\/p>\n<p>In our fast-paced, often overwhelming lives, it&#8217;s easy to feel pulled in countless directions. Like Cornelius, I believe finding balance is essential for a fulfilling life. A strong spiritual foundation has been my anchor. Just as prayer and faith sustained Cornelius, they provide me with inner peace and purpose. It&#8217;s in those quiet moments of reflection that I connect with something greater than myself, gaining the strength to face life&#8217;s challenges. As <em>Psalm 37:5<\/em> says, <em>\u201cCommit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>But balance isn&#8217;t just about spiritual life; it&#8217;s about giving back too <em>(Acts 10:2)<\/em>. Cornelius was known for his generosity, a quality that inspired me to make a difference in my community. I\u2019ve found that participating in community activities gives me opportunities for social interaction and this also contributes to a sense of belonging, unity and connection with others. \u00a0Serving others brings a profound sense of fulfillment. It&#8217;s a reminder that life isn&#8217;t solely about personal achievement but about lifting others up.<\/p>\n<p>Cornelius&#8217; story also teaches us about openness to change. His life was transformed through an unexpected encounter with Apostle Peter. After listening the Gospel he and his family received the Holy Spirit and they all acquired salvation. This reminds me that growth often happens outside our comfort zones. Embracing new experiences and perspectives enriches our lives in countless ways. As <em>2 Corinthians 5:17<\/em> reminds us, <em>\u201cTherefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Just as Cornelius found a path to balance and purpose, I believe you can too. Our church community is a place where you can explore your faith, connect with others, and find support on your journey. We invite you to join us for our upcoming Fall Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation in September. Together, we can discover how to live lives of meaning and impact, just as Cornelius did centuries ago. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Inspired by the theme \u201cAll Things Become New\u201d, let&#8217;s create a community where faith, service, and personal growth intertwine, leading to a more fulfilling life. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Fall Evangelical Service and Spiritual Convocation: <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thursday, September 26,2024, 6:50PM to 8:10PM<br \/>Friday and Saturday, September 27-28, 2024, 9:00AM to 8:10PM<br \/>Sunday, September 29, 2024, 9:00AM to 1:00PM<br \/>Complimentary lunch and dinner will be served.<\/p>\n<p>Our church location is as follows:<\/p>\n<p><b>4N550 Church Road<br \/><\/b><b>Bensenville,\u00a0<abbr title=\"Illinois\">IL<\/abbr>\u00a060106<br \/><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/place\/True+Jesus+Church+Chicago\/@41.945266,-87.9536702,18.39z\/data=!4m14!1m7!3m6!1s0x880fb39f5fbd433d:0x72d82c41e185bf3e!2s4+S+Church+Rd,+Bensenville,+IL+60106!3b1!8m2!3d41.9448745!4d-87.9534209!3m5!1s0x880fb3a1e4e2dd49:0xd44299b704de1192!8m2!3d41.9453743!4d-87.9533863!16s%2Fg%2F1tdn02z1?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, please feel free to join us for our regular Sabbath (Friday evening and Saturday)\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/service\/live-sabbath-service\/\">services online<\/a>\u00a0or in-person.<\/p>\n<p>Friday Evening Service:\u00a0 7:50PM \u2013 9:00PM<\/p>\n<p>Saturday Morning Service:\u00a0 10:50AM \u2013 12:00Noon<\/p>\n<p>Saturday Afternoon Service:\u00a0 1:30PM \u2013 2:40PM<\/p>\n<p>Email us at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org\">ilovejesus@tjc-chicago.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/tjc-chicago.org\/2024-spring-essc-lifebalance-3\/\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<b>Find Overall Life Balance with Us (9) <\/b><br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<style>\/*!
