The slides for this sermon can be downloaded here.

Written in the first decades of the early church’s life, the epistle to the Colossians holds out a vision of life in Christ that is simple, hopeful, and above all, good. In our exploration of this text, we aim to celebrate the way of Jesus that bears good and beautiful fruit—wisdom, unity, fullness, life—and that opens doors to encourage ongoing discovery of ever more goodness. Our hope is that this series helps us to hold our lives with joy, peace, gratitude, simplicity and hope.

Endings

The word “disappointment” refers to the sorrow that we often feel as a result of our unfulfilled hopes or expectations. But is sorrow the only outcome of disappointment? According to the Season of Lent and way of Jesus, difficult human experiences—even death itself—are imbued with unexpected surprises and possibilities. During this Season of Lent we’ll explore the life of Moses and his many disappointments. We’ll make space to lament our own experiences of disappointment while being intentional to consider the potential gifts that disappointment affords. Our desire is that this series grows our capacity to hold both sorrow and hope, in the midst of the sincere disappointment that we all encounter.
