COVID-19, political division, and civil unrest are among the current events making it feel like the world as we know it is unraveling.
So, for the past several months of Sunday worship, my congregation and I have been exploring Bible stories from the Old and New testaments that speak to the unraveling of life.
These stories and their leading characters experience the unraveling of their identities, their dreams, and their expectations. Unsettling circumstances back in the day are speaking to unsettling circumstances in the here and now.
So far, in the Scripture and sermon series, “Unraveled: Seeking God When Our Plans Falls Apart” –
We’ve met Sarah, who carries the pain of infertility into old age. But God surprises her by sending her a child. Sometimes, God turns your unraveled plans into unexpected joy – if you’re willing to receive God’s gift. (Genesis 21:1-7)
