Where Is God’s Hand In Our Suffering?
The book of Ruth is a story of God’s hand in the midst of an ordinary family. When tragedy strikes, we, like Naomi, may well ask: ‘where are you God?’

Through November we’re making sense of life by reading the book of Ruth together. Join us if you can. If you can’t, you might find this interesting anyway.
Paul ends his letter to the Galatian church with an encouragement to do good; particularly to carry one another’s burdens. We still need to hear that encouragement today.
We can believe the lie that everything depends on us. Sometimes we need reminding to simply trust in the Father who holds all things in His hands.
The past can be hard to shake off but God calls us to a bigger future in which our identity is in Christ alone.
We may be tempted to try hard to earn the approval of those we respect, including God. Paul reminds us of the true gospel which tells us we don’t need to.
The early church asked itself a question that still echoes through the centuries: ‘Am I good enough?’ Paul’s letter to the Galatian church responds definitively to that question.
We’ll be starting a new sermon series based around Galatians, and to help support you through this I’ve collected together some useful resources.
We are called to follow in the footsteps of the one spoke up for truth and justice. He uses people like us to be part of his great restoration plan.
Not many of us are able to change the world, but we can have an influence on the little part of the world God has given us responsibility for.
