Thrive: Living on Purpose
Hopelessness is an all-too common feeling in society. Even when people are living comfortably or well off, they may wonder, “To what end?” While a marked sense of hopelessness leads some to depression or even suicide, others just go through the motions of day-to-day life with little thought to any meaning in their lives. However, God created us with purpose, and when we discover that purpose in Christ, life takes on a meaning and richness the world cannot offer.
Navigating Family Conflict
We are imperfect people, and therefore we live in imperfect relationships. This is most often seen in the family. Whether we are the parent, the sibling, the adult child of parents, or some other relative, we have a responsibility to relate to others within the family in a way that reflects we are Christ followers. The book of Genesis offers both positive and negative accounts of family relationships. From these ancient families, we can discover how we ought to relate to others in the family.
I am so excited when we get to gather in small groups to study the Word of God.”
