Meltdown: Anger and Frustration

This week's message kicks off a new series called “Suffering and Hope”. The reality of life in a broken world is that suffering of one kind or another is a universal experience and is often even more so for followers of Jesus. Each week we’ll look at the stories of the suffering of Hope people as well as the suffering of Jesus as we look and long for hope in the midst of our own suffering. This week takes a look at the shock and the anger that can come when you first begin to realize that you are deeply in pain and that it is not going to get better anytime soon. What do we do with that? How do we pray when we feel like that? This week’s message will offer hope in the form of permission to let your heart speak, scream, and cry to God when you’re in the midst of suffering.

He's Back!

Life with the Loving Father, the Good King, and the Wild Goose

April 14, 2019 • Peter Mueller

Have you ever seen and loved a good parade? This Sunday we reflect on two parades - that of Jesus entering Jerusalem on Palm Sunday as coming king, and that of our 2019 Hope Confirmands publicly affirming their faith as their own as they grow towards adulthood. As Jesus was received as a king, so the life of the Christian is about receiving Jesus as king into the deepest parts of hearts, minds and lives and welcoming Him to work in and through us.

Jesus: Even When the Sky is Dark

April 7, 2019 • Peter Mueller

Thankfully, God does come and rescue us in one way or another when we’re suffering. Sometimes it’s through total relief and healing, other times of mix of partial healing and an unmistakable confidence in His presence with using the midst of it. The love and presence of Jesus rises in our lives and our suffering like the morning sun even when skies are still dark. This is a great gift of Jesus, the one who is our strength even and especially when we’re weak, the one who fills our heart even when we’re falling all apart. There is hope in Jesus!
