MORE Magazine : You have started a series , teaching about purpose . it has been so influential that peoples lives , including mine , have been changed before the series officially has officially begun . Tell us about the series .
Bishop Curtis :
We are used to chasing after results and not chasing after our purpose . We become so distracted by the details around us that we keep missing the purpose . You can be successful and still not be fulfilling your Purpose .
The series to help us to retrain our minds and thoughts away from frustration and learned behavior , not get overwhelmed with details , and not to go after fulfilling desires . We have to identify our purpose and walk in it .
MORE Magazine : Tell us about your church .
Bishop Curtis :
The church , The Sanctuary RIC , is growing and developing . We are on a sure path of discipleship , seeking to please God , to reveal his purpose in the earth . The desire for the church is growing for more , and that desire is rapidly growing . I see people progressing in what they are doing . They are branching out , developing and seeing that our church is making an impact . It has taken us a while to get to this point but we are at the point where we are dedicated to following purpose .
I ’ m happy that we aren ’ t trying to be like any other church . We are now trying to be who we are called to be , not trying to fit the mold or to be politically correct , we are simply following Christ .
