Gravity is a complicated force. It is actually one of the weaker forces acting on us in the universe, yet it also holds us firmly to the ground. We experience it every moment of our lives, but scientists still cannot really explain it. And there is not just the physical gravity that affects us but a sort of spiritual gravity as well that holds us back. The Bible tells us we are all “fallen” beings. We have sinned, and our sin keeps us from the life we were made for - a life with God. Join Damascus Road for Gravity, as we explore what it takes to break free from the forces that hold us back.Week 1 of Gravity

Teacher: Tyler StibrichIt takes a tremendous amount of force to break free of gravity. Escape velocity describes the speed we need to go to escape from a planet’s gravity and make it into space. On earth, the escape velocity is over 25,000 mph. It can also be incredibly difficult to break free from the gravity of sin – our patterns of selfishness, fear, addiction and all that separates us from God and others – even as we respond to Jesus with faith. Newton’s laws tell us that if we want to go forward, we have to leave something behind. How do we leave behind these old lives for a new life with Christ? How do we hit escape velocity?
