[Sunday] Hope Shapes Us - Rise
Questions for the Week
Have you ever seen something that was completely restored? How did you feel about that thing that was restored?
Read Revelation 21:1-8 What does Jesus promise to do? How is making all things new different than making a new thing?
How does having Hope that all things will be restored change how you live today?
Action Item: Take some time this week and think about a troubled place or problem in our world today. Spend some time praying for that place or issue, trusting that God will make all things new.

What Had happened at Grace this week.
Please join us for an informational meeting between our two Sunday services to discuss Grace bringing in Claubert as a Vicar.
Our class closed Amos with chapter 9’s sweeping judgment and surprising hope, then turned to Obadiah’s focus on Edom and all nations, tracing themes of justice, restoration, and God’s kingship with messianic echoes.
The Triumphal Entry shows us the difference. We chase the 'wins' of this world; Jesus rides into the darkness of this world. We look for success; He brings the Light that saves.
This week, our study of Amos 6-8 revealed God's unwavering standard of justice, showing how complacency, social injustice, and the rejection of His word lead to inescapable judgment, symbolized by a plumb line and a basket of summer fruit.
When we are drowning in anxiety and noise, Jesus steps in to flip the tables, pushing back the chaotic waters like on day 2 of creation, so we can finally catch our breath.
