Crisis Convertedنموونە
Theme: God is supreme.
Crisis Converted Then:
God is setting up a trial between himself and false idols. He’s calling even the farthest places (islands!) to pay attention. The first and most impressive piece of evidence of his supremacy is that God has been present from the very beginning. Nations and their false gods are fleeting by comparison. They are unstable and ready to fall at any moment.
Crisis Converted Now:
No matter the cultural moment, God is supreme. No matter the calamity that we face, God ruled before us, rules now and will rule forever. Our governments, our systems, and even the small things that we put hope in (bank accounts, superstitions, traditions) will topple in comparison to God. What have you used for momentary security that you need to turn over to God?
Scripture
About this Plan
This study from Isaiah 40-55 explores our identity as people affected by trauma but living in hope. In the exile, God’s nation had to find new life when their old life had been completely overturned and destroyed. Similarly, we now find ourselves trying to “return to normal” in the aftermath of a global pandemic. Yet, God can take any crisis and convert it for his glory and our growth.
