As the prophet Jeremiah stood amidst the smoldering ruins of his beloved city, he was overcome with grief and hopelessness. What made it even more painful is that he knew this devastation could have been avoided if the nation had only listened to God. But at his lowest point of despair, he remembered God’s faithfulness, and calling this to mind renewed his faltering hope. When your world seems to be crumbling around you, and you feel overwhelmed by the struggles and pain of life, shift your focus back to God’s goodness, trusting that He is ruling over it all and that your hope should rest in Him alone.
The Church is Not the Destination
“Church.” We say that word all the time, but do we really know what it means? Is the church the building down on the corner? Is it really the “house of God?” Are there traditions that have been added to the church that are actually hindering its mission? Which issues are worth defending in the church and which ones are a waste of time? Join us as we peel back these layers, and many more, to discover some eye-opening truths and make sure we’re being the kind of church Jesus intended from the start.
