What we’re learning this week:
Tonight is parent night! We invite parents to come join us for a chance to see what your students are up to each week, and spend some time getting to know your students leader, chatting with other parents, and hearing from our staff. If you haven’t already, please RSVP here.
While we’re having converstaion together, students will be hearing a teaching about how everyone faces hardship, and how we respond—whether we vent, stuff it, isolate, or distract—reveals where our hope truly rests. Paul writes to believers in Rome who were suffering deeply and reminds them that real hope isn’t just a feeling or a slogan like “Just trust God.” It’s something solid, anchored in two unshakable truths:
Bottom Line: True hope grows through hardship
Scripture: Romans 5:1-8
Car ride home questions:
When life gets tough, what kind of “hope” do you usually lean on—something you know (head hope) or something you feel (heart hope)?
How can our family remind each other to keep our hope strong when things don’t go the way we want?
