Hope

Church doesn’t always feel easy. Whether you are struggling with something that happened or just confused about the role of the church in your life, this plan will help you find hope.

Finding Hope When Church Feels Hard

Are you looking for hope? Are you really loved? Are you lonely? Does your life have purpose? What will happen when you die? Where is your hope?

Where Is Your Hope?

Grief is something we will all experience in this lifetime. The word grief is often used to describe the emotion of deep sorrow felt when someone we love has died. However, grief can also be a response to the loss of anything that has held meaning and significance in our life. So how can we find our way in our own times of grief and how can we walk as a compassionate friend alongside others who are grieving? I hope this plan may be a starting point for you as we look at some verses from the Bible and share some reflections.

Real Hope: Grief

We were made for love - to be held, seen, and delighted in by our first caregivers. Even the best parent fails, resulting in disappointment, loss, and injury. We need the loving care, nurture, and comfort of our God, who brings deep healing to our whole selves. In this 4-day plan, we soak in comfort, inviting the nearness and presence of God through the practice of Lectio Divina.

Comforted by God, a Lectio Divina

You're invited to see the goodness of God as He remembers Sarah throughout her years of infertility. Come see Him care for Naomi as she deals with loss and loneliness. Behold our great God who gave Moses courage, Paul's true zeal, and the adulterous woman's forgiveness and the change of a new life. All of the people we will study--and us included--have hearts and souls that need rescuing. Ultimately we will find that the answer to all of our brokenness--no matter who we are or what we've done--is Christ Himself.

We are surrounded by injustice and pain. We see it not only in our world but also in our own lives and it can be disheartening and overwhelming. But we are not without hope. This is what Micah is all about. He is not afraid to get in our face about some hard topics like sin and judgement.
