Who's in Exile? (9AM)
Does the coronavirus make you feel a bit like you're living in exile? From distance learning to extensive unemployment rates, nothing is quite the way it used to be. In times like this, we could use some encouragement. The prophet Jeremiah sought to reassure the Israelites living in Babylonian exile with a letter. It was not, however, the kind of encouragement they were expecting.... We know that God desires for all of humankind to know a hope-filled future. Join us as we consider how we might bring God's dreams to fruition.
Series Information
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.
