when life isn't fair

in the world it is called “The Morning After,” “The Day After”, and usually with a negative slant. 
in the church world it is called “The Week After” – after Easter, that is.
all the excitement, planning, preparation, engagement, involvement – then bang – it’s over.
i'm thankful to report our “week after” was phenomenal, out of this world. 
lots of new people, great worship, many lives changed by God’s presence. 

no let down – just a revving up. 

the new series – when life isn’t fair – proved to be very timely.  I peter 2:18-21 tells us how to handle life’s unfairness:
• endure the pain of injustice and you will receive God’s favor.
• patiently bear up under the pain of wrongs suffered and God will be pleased.
god is just, merciful and will avenge us of wrongs endured.  life is unfair but God is just. 

he will right the wrongs as we surrender to his Lordship.
many people were helped by this timely Word.  join us this week as the series continues. 
bring someone who has suffered from life’s unfairness. 
use twitter, text messaging, email – whatever – just get them here.
