The Big Question / Our Lament
We're in the second half of a long series about the core of our belief as Christians: the Gospel. We believe it's a simple, but potent story of beauty, brokenness, pursuit, and redemption. Today, we're asking a simple question as our Lament: "Why do I feel alone?"
the Lament: Am I alone?
Check out the original version of today's lament song "Nobody Knows Me At All" by the Weepies.
The Big Idea
The Bible has a direct answer to our question, and when we boil it all down, we believe that the Presence of God provides deep connection for the soul. In short, we believe that God is with each of us, individually, every day.
and He will give you another.
John 14:16-20 NIV84
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever– the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you.
