Hope in the Dark

Hope in the Dark
Believing God Is Good When Life is Not
(Zonderan, 2018)

WHO: Craig Groeschel, founder and senior pastor of Life.Church.

HE SAYS: “To really know God, you have to wrestle through pain, struggle with honest doubts, and even live with unanswered questions. If you wrestle with him, seek him, cling to him, God will meet you in your pain.”

THE BIG IDEA: Using the minor prophet Habakkuk as a springboard, Hope in the Dark is written for people going through a season of doubt and struggling to believe God cares.

THE PROGRESSION:
Divided into three sections—“Hide and Seek,” “Lost and Found” and “Hope and Glory”—this book explores the questions Habakkuk asked God as well as offers steps those in crisis can take: listen, write down what God reveals and continue to believe by faith.

“When hard things happen, and the best you can manage is to want to believe, that’s enough. Don’t stop wanting to believe. Allow that spark of hope to grow by trusting that God is right there beside you.”

When You Don’t Want to Read the Bible

You were ultimately made to respond to God’s heart. You were made to know the voice of the Good Shepherd, to lean on his care, to depend on his provisions, to trust in his protection. You were made to come running when your Father calls you home to sit at his table!

Evangel Church: Never Stop Serving

Last year, Evangel started a church two hours away inside the largest women’s prison in New York. A pastor and a team go every Thursday to share a message, preach and lead worship for the prisoners.

When the church taps into the mission and the heart of God, she gets mobilized, she can get revived. We can see growth and new initiative.
