Unexpected (9 AM)

    Have you ever struggled with the biblical statement, "Nothing is impossible with God?" If that's the case, then why doesn't God stop COVID-19? And if what Scripture says is true and God enabled Sarah to give birth to a child (at age 90), why are so many other people never given the chance to have biological children of their own? This Mother's Day, we'll remember the challenges that can accompany this day, but we'll also come to see God's enduring promises of life and hope. The story continues!

     Sometimes it feels like the world is falling apart. Living in the midst of a pandemic, most of us know this feeling all too well.Our tightly-knit plans unravel and we’re left with only loose threads. What do we become when our identity or the path we’re on comes undone?

    But what if our fears don’t become our reality? Is it possible that in our unraveling, we might come face-to-face with unexpected hope, joy and love; a new beginning we couldn’t ever have imagined? Sometimes we need God to unravel us, for we need or even long to be changed.

    This Easter season, we will explore biblical accounts of unraveled shame, identity, fear, grief, dreams, and expectations. Together, we’ll see that God can meet us in our spiraling, unraveling our plans—and us—into something new.
