MVT: Rewind

We can talk all day long about why bad things happen to good people, but ultimately the best answers do very little to comfort us when we're hurting. Horrible things happen across the world and in the midst of that, all we can do is grieve. But we never grieve alone. Christ himself suffers with us in our sorrow, reminding us that God is closer than we think. Even when it feels like God is a million miles away, we get to trust that His presence is right here, with us. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you experience His presence through one another.

Would you feel comfortable knowing that someone loved you if you didn’t know anything about that person? That might make you feel weird, or insecure. In this series, we are hoping to grow together in what we know about God, in order to anchor ourselves to His perfect love for us. 

The Hebrew word for this week was shalom, which describes the peace of God. Maybe you’ve heard it used as a greeting, which is something like “peace be with you.” But that description doesn’t go deep enough. Peace is WHO God is; which means He’s not disorder, chaos, or confusion. True peace in our lives comes from trusting and resting in God!
