God's Shalom: A Future with Hope
July 8, 2018
To My Beloved Church,
I can’t begin to express my gratitude for the gift it has been to serve as a pastor on staff at Dayspring for the past six years. I cherish the love and faithfulness you have shown serving as our church family for all this time.
This weekend we will be spending our time in a passage that may be familiar to many of you, but one that I believe when understood in its context can serve as a great encouragement for the people of God today. Jeremiah 29:10-14 reminds us that even in seasons of transition or hardship the Lord is faithful to restore, gather, and draw His people back to Him. In this passage we see a beautiful promise. Not one of quick fixes or of personal prosperity, but a promise for wholeness and hope in God’s future for His people. We believe in a faithful and loving God; a God who has a purpose for our lives, for our families, and for our church. This week as we dive deeper into God’s Word to experience God’s restoration and hope for us as a community. We can’t wait to witness what the Lord has prepared for us.
In Loving Kindness,
Nathan
