This is Not the End

When we face loss - whether it's on a personal or corporate, cultural level, at some point we will move past denial, anger, bargaining and despair. We will learn to look for the good that God is doing on the other side of that loss. And we will rejoice, because that new Good can only come if we experience the loss of what we had before. The Scriptures call that... Resurrection!

From Series: "This is Not the End"

We often look at the way our culture is headed and lament what we've lost. But God is preparing something new, something better. By listening to the voices of Israelites who lived after the Exile, we can learn how to hope in God's new thing. Because this is not the End!

Too often, we think faith is about winning – getting our way in the culture or in our homes. But during Lent, we’ll trace the human journey through the Old Testament and see that getting what we want never works out like we hope. We’ll see how Jesus enters into our failure and becomes a loser just like us. Somehow, his failure is good news for us.

It turns out God is for losers, which is good news for all us failures.
