Change is an unavoidable constant in our lives. Sometimes it's within our control, but most often it's not. 2020 has been a year of change! How can we adapt to change, and even take advantage of it. We look at the words of Jeremiah, who says, 'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:11-14

Just ask a few folks what they want out of life and they will say, "I just want to be happy."  What does happiness look like? On our Podcast we look at Christ's Sermon on the Mount where he spoke of happiness. Can humility  be one of the secrets of finding happiness?

We all have gifts we treasure. But the gifts we cherish the most are not material items but gifts from God. God's children are given grace, love, hope and peace. What would are lives be without hope? In adversity we must never surrender but to persevere with god's help and with hope!

Just who doesn't like a good party? On our Podcast we discuss the welcoming nature of God towards humankind. Scripture teaches us that God not only prepares a table for us but enjoys our company too. We may feel lost at times in our relationship with God, but he is always there waiting with arms outstretched...and a party.

During these lasts months many of us have experienced change. We have learned to adapt and move forward in positive ways.  God wants us to experience continual restarts and rebirths and redefinitions. We look at the story of Job who lost all to find happiness in the second half of his life and we learn from Moses how to not be afraid when we are called to grow and change.

In the gospel of Matthew we read about Jesus saying, "Follow me, and I will make you fish for people." The disciples were on the shore mending their nets. What does this passage teach us today?  Can we learn and be inspired too to continue the difficult work of mending lives and relationships as we strive for unity and a lasting peace.

How can we find hope amid uncertainty, conflict, or loss? When we feel we have lost hope, we find inspiration in the words and deeds of others. On this week's Podcast we explore Isaiah 40 and remind ourselves that those who wait on God get fresh strength.
