In this study we begin a journey together, a journey toward healing. There
are two types of people in this world: those who have experienced a
lot of pain and those who have experienced some pain in their life.
Regardless of which describes you, pain is part of life and when it hits,
it hurts. The pain in your life may be different than the pain in my life,
but we can both agree, pain hurts.
Perhaps you can identify with the first person--you have experienced a
lot of pain. Some of the pain in your life may be a result of what others
have done to you. Other pain you’ve experienced may be a result of
decisions you’ve made along the journey of life. Some of those decisions
have led to serious bad habits, addictions or consequences that
result in pain. Regardless of the source of your pain (done to you or by
you), it’s safe to say, if you were offered healing from your pain, you’d
take it…right? Of course you would!
The rest of you might identify with the second person--you’ve experienced
some pain, but not enough to cause you deep-rooted pain.
Well, guess what? This journey is for you too! As you know, it’s impossible
to live a full life and escape pain. Pain will hit, and when it hits,
you’ll need help.
That’s what this Life Hurts God Heals series is all about—healing.
God’s healing is available for the pain you’ve already had as well as the
pain that will come your way. God wants you to live your life to the
fullest and he’s provided you with a way to live life, released from the
heavy load of pain, fully connected with Him.
Along this journey, you will learn some steps that make you open to
God’s healing touch in your life. We will begin this journey on Sunday, September
10th at 6:15 PM for grades 6-8 and 8:30 PM for grades 9-12.
Come and join us and bring any friends with you who you think might want to
figure out how to be healed from life's pain.
