Hope for Humans

Hope for Humans

2020 has been both challenging and clarifying. From the global pandemic to political and racial tensions, it's increasingly clear: the things we tend to hope in can't bear the weight of our expectations and desires. Sports and fine arts activities, vacations, gathering with friends, funerals, graduations, and weddings have all been delayed or even cancelled. These losses can be devastating…or we can let disappointment remind us of the only Unshakable Hope – a hope that started before the foundation of time and lasts into the life to come. A hope that came into our sin-stained and hopeless world through a tiny baby named Jesus.

Talk It Over

Keep growing in your relationship with Jesus through the Word, prayer, and community! • Reach out to a few people you already know – friends, coworkers, etc. – and find a time when you can connect each week. (Note: Due to the pandemic, we're recommending groups of 4-7.) • Not sure how to start the conversation? Head to npberean.org/grow for a few simple ideas you can use to get started today!

Next Week's Sermon

Next week we'll be closing out the year with a reminder about the essential nature of discipleship in the life of our church. Fancy programs, large facilities, complex strategies not needed. Just a heart to pass along what we've learned to someone else coming along the path of faith.
