This Week’s Faith Guide

Verse of the Week: "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28 (NLT)

Life Application from Sunday's Message:

Find your purpose in Christ.
Don't let your identity be determined by your circumstances. Let Jesus become your "why," and allow every decision you make to bring Him glory.
Don't suffer alone.
Grief and depression grow in isolation, but healing often begins in community. Let God use trusted believers to encourage, pray for, and walk alongside you.
Look for God's collateral beauty.
Even when life is painful, God is still at work. Ask Him to open your eyes to the unexpected ways His grace, love, and hope are breaking through.
Trust that God is writing a greater story.
Your pain may not make sense today, but it is never wasted in God's hands. Keep trusting Him, because He is able to bring beauty, purpose, and hope out of even the darkest seasons
