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!

Jesus’ disciples often asked him when his Kingdom would come in full, when this new life he always talked about would arrive. In response, Jesus told several parables that illustrated the tension we feel as we wait for his kingdom to come on Earth as it is in Heaven. Waiting in Jesus’ new reality isn’t passive. It’s an active, intentional patience. So how do we wait well?
