A Note from Ryan

Sometimes things just don't go how you expect or want them to go.  Maybe you've experienced this.

Andrea and I were hoping that life would slow down when summer started, yet it doesn't feel like it has (yet).  Schedules have continued to be full, some unexpected maintenance things with the house came up that need to be dealt with, and everything has a timeframe.  It is really easy to get frustrated.

Yet, God is sovereign.  As we discussed Sunday, we need to learn from Job.  We need to take the good with the bad.  We need to stop asking WHY and start TRUSTING God's plan (even if we don't understand it).

This week, where do you need to stop questioning and start trusting?

Remember our verse of the week: "I know that you can do all things; no purpose of yours can be thwarted" Job 42:2.

One way that I've found helps me to put the bad periods in my life in context, is to serve.  I'm volunteering this week with the FIFA World Cup to help share the love of God, and Kansas hospitality with the world.

I'm excited that as a church we get the opportunity to serve the community Friday with our 2nd Friday Movie Night.  This is open to all.  We will have free popcorn, snow cones, and cotton candy.  Let's come together, bring our friends and neighbors, and show the love of God with our community.

As always, my door is always open.  If you’d like to talk about anything, give me a call, shoot me an e-mail (Ryan.Hanson@TheLightKC.org), or stop by the church.

Looking forward to worshiping with you all Sunday at 10:00 AM,
Ryan Hanson

Re-Watch Sunday's Message

Message 1 in the sermon series "Verses to Live By: Truth for the Road Ahead" by Ryan Hanson titled "Who God is: God is Sovereign"

We all go through tough times. It's natural to question WHY these things happen to us. It's understandable to look to God to answer the WHY questions of our lives. We know God is sovereign and can do whatever He wants, so why doesn't He free us from the tough times in our lives? Today we're going to look at the book of Job and see what we can learn about how we can best respond to the tough times in our lives.
