This page is updated when Pastor Fields is preaching. We are most at ease when we are in situations that we have already experienced at an earlier time. It is not the familiar that makes us uneasy but rather that which we are not familiar with. When we are facing something that we are not familiar with, it causes us a certain amount of fear and concern.
Familiarity carries with it a certain amount of peace and contentment.
We operate better when we are familiar with our surroundings. No matter where we may travel on vacation or for other reasons and no matter how much fun and enjoyment we experience on our trips, we are always glad to get back home. The reason this is true is because we are familiar with what's happening at home. Home is a familiar place and has built in it security and contentment. But my brothers and sisters, life often sends us to chart unfamiliar territory.
