Hope Community Church

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness—all great things! So we try to act more loving. We put on a smile and try to rejoice. We pray and hope for peace of mind. We bite our tongue and hold our anger. Outwardly we look good, but deep down inside there is the nagging awareness that something is amiss. Our hurting marriages, our struggles at work, our rocky relationships, our haggard schedules all reveal cracks in our lives that tell us that our spirituality may not be working as well as we had hoped. God promises to make us into new creations—the old has passed and the new has come. We know this is true in the spiritual realm, but what about in the emotional realm? Did God intend to transform us emotionally? If so, what does that look like? How does that happen? What does it mean to become an emotionally healthy person?

Today we are told that truth is relative, that morality is a matter of opinion, and that life is whatever we make it out to be. For the person who desires to walk with God, life can seem like swimming upstream against the current of compromise. Yet the world of compromise is not something unique to this culture. The book of Judges gives us an account of those who faced similar challenges. Some did well. Others did not. What can we learn from their victories and failures? How do we stay faithful to God while engaging in our culture? How do we reconcile the unconditional love of God with His uncompromising commands for holiness? How do we avoid the slippery slope of license without falling prey to legalism? Can I be truly free to live life to its fullest and yet walk closely with God? Join us on during the months of May & June as we learn to swim upstream from this insightful book of Judges!
