Embracing the Uncertain, 2nd Edition, Leader Guide (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

Learn to navigate life's uncertainties. The Leader Guide contains discussion questions and session plans for a six-week study of Embracing the Uncertain. It includes opening and closing prayers, optional activities, and weekly session goals. It is designed to be used with the book and DVD. Just turning on the news lets us know we are living in uncertain times. Economic instabilities, eruptions of violence, and natural catastrophes can alter the lives and landscapes of entire communities. Our individual lives are often just as unsteady: relationships can falter, plans can go awry, and confidence can wane. Uncertainty can be uncomfortable. Many of us prefer stability and a predictable future to an unknown fate. We are wired to want to control our destiny. The reality is that in our fast-changing, unpredictable world, there are few guarantees in life. It's those who are willing to embrace uncertainty and make the risky decision to follow Jesus despite the many unknowns who will reap the greatest rewards. In Embracing the Uncertain, Magrey deVega invites readers to engage and wrestle with life's uncertainties, not ignore them. The six chapters focus on six post-transfiguration, pre-Passion stories in the Gospels. Each of these stories is a signpost in the Gospel narrative, pointing down at a world filled with uncertainty but pointing us forward to a cross that can show us how to follow Jesus with courage, hope, and obedience. Embracing the Uncertain helps you dig deep into your faith and face life's challenges with a renewed sense of purpose.
