In this message, Pastor Eric continues our Advent series exploring "reminders for new seasons;" those truths we need to hear again and again throughout life as we navigate endings in order to move toward new beginnings.
Drawing in the powerful story of Ruth and Naomi and the Book of Ruth, this message explores the reminder that "You cannot go it alone." It's a message that we can all pretty readily accept; and yet, most of us resist it--especially when life is difficult; we tend to pull away from others precisely when we most need to draw near; when we most need support.
In your own season of life, amidst whatever might be ending and just beginning to emerge, what is this reminder that you cannot go it alone calling you to move toward? Where are you being invited to risk, to vulnerability and courage in order to belong in community and in relationships that are vital to your well-being?
This Advent, may grace hold you as you lean into this simple yet ever-difficult invitation.
