Searching Blog: #Comfort
In a culture where Christians and non-Christians alike are fascinated by the End Times, the biblical book of Revelation is a source of mystery and curiosity. However, Revelation has sometimes been portrayed as scary or intimidating. But Revelation is not meant to be a source of fear; its vision of heaven is meant to be a source of comfort and hope for believers. Studying its pages provides believers with the reassurance that the pain, grief, and injustice of this life are not final because Jesus Christ already sits on the throne. Revelation encourages Christians to continue living faithfully in this life now.
God created us as whole beings. Consequently, anything we face mentally, physically, or emotionally also impacts our faith. Join Groundwork as we examine the impact of dementia, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, or illness on our faith and seek comforting guidance from scripture to better understand and care for each other.
Why has generation after generation of believers found comfort in the Heidelberg Catechism? This Reformed teaching tool connects faith to our everyday life experiences and offers comfort to ease our anxious hearts. Grow in understanding your place in God’s family and story through the episodes of our Groundwork series “I Belong to Jesus.”
There are so many ways that we seek to understand why we suffer and, further, why God allows suffering to continue in our world. Whether these questions come out as faint, pain-filled moans or frustrated, angry screams, we can find solace and confidence to remain steadfast in our faith in the biblical story of Job.
Study 2 Corinthians and the early Church to find encouragement and be empowered to live for Jesus Christ through all aspects of your life, letting his gospel shine through your witness no matter what questions you have or cultural challenges you might face.
