HOW DID WE GET HERE? Making Sense Of Life When Everything Falls Apart

 

Welcome to our exciting new series.  This is a Bible Study on “The Exile”.

The Exile is one of the most important events in biblical history—but also the most overlooked.

Huge chunks of the Old Testament took it’s form during the Exile. That means lots of writing and editing happened within this period of intense suffering.

But it makes sense. Breakthroughs happen after the breaking.

Friend, are you going through a breaking right now?

Trust in God that your breakthrough is coming.

Talk 1: The Waiting Room

 

Big parts of life is about waiting.

Waiting to graduate. Waiting to get a job. Waiting to meet the right person. Waiting to get promoted. Waiting to retire.

Or how about this: Waiting for an answered prayer?

How does God want us to wait?

This is where we talk about the Jewish Exile, because that was one gigantic Waiting Room that lasted for 70 years.

When was the last time you were in a waiting room and were happy being there?
