Your Story Matters


Your life,
the one you are living today, 
is part of the great story of humanity.  

People throughout the ages have sought to understand the story of humanity, and yet it holds a certain
mystery. In this great story we see creative power, life and death, good and evil, brokenness and restoration and what is possible through the power of love. 

Amid the brokenness, hope exists within the human spirit.  It is the Lord God who says 

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord,

“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 
JEREMIAH 29:11  


He could have left us in despair, though this is not His way.   


Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 

But because of his great love for us
God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ 
even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  
EPHESIANS 2:3-7  


He is consistently calling people to know and experience his love.  When you know this love, your story is forever connected to God's great story, and now the opportunity exists to express the hope you know, and help others experience his love. 

The Lord is worthy of all of our praises!   

In whatever way you've experienced the hope that comes only from the Lord, share it!  
Help someone who needs hope find the one who gives it freely!
