The Great Impossibility

Storms.  They happen. Right now, British Columbia is praying that they’ll happen! But, sadly, any hope of rain appears to be accompanied by lightning.  
It’s how we feel at times. We know rain has value, but sometimes that rain seems to be excessive and sometimes appears to bring other unwanted realities with it. 
Jesus, speaking to those listeners on the mountain, reminded them and us in Matthew 5:45 that it rains on both the righteous and the unrighteous. Just because we have Jesus in our lives doesn’t mean that we get a “free pass” on unexpected storms.
So, how, do we cope when life goes sideways or when unwelcomed storms surge in our souls?  From some beautiful words from Jesus, we will remember the heart of the Father and find comfort, courage, peace and hope!
I so hope you will be able to join us this weekend as we gather around the best table in the world and consider the love of the Father for each of us.  
I’m looking forward to finding God’s grace and peace in the midst of the storm this weekend!
With love and expectation and buckets of gratitude,
Pastor Ian
