TEACHING SERIES: The Story of US
TITLE: Session 3: Disappointment In An Age Of Longing
BY: Judy Moore
DATE: 8 May 2022
BIBLE PASSAGES:
Proverbs (Chapter 13, verses 12)
Romans (Chapter 12, verses 1-2)
Mathew (Chapter 26, verses 36-46).
In the Welsh language, there is a strange word that describes something many of us feel. It is the word Hiraeth. It describes the unattainable desire that we feel for a place that no longer exists, or to which we can never return. It is a homesickness we feel when our ‘home’ is years ago and far away, if it ever really existed at all. What do we do when our relationships are a bit like that – when they are disappointing? When our friends,
families, or partner let us down? What do we do when life isn’t quite what we hoped it would be?
‘The crisis of Covid has distanced us from each other. We see anew how far apart we are. The result must be a new way to bring us together.’
(Jon Yates)
Welcome:
What's true of Riverside Church when we meet together in-person is still true of us online. We are on a journey together to help people get to know Jesus and grow as his followers across Birmingham and beyond. Riverside is a church made up of people from a diversity of backgrounds and experiences all with one thing in common; our discovery of God and His amazing love. We hope you will feel at home among us and that you will find our weekly services, events and groups welcoming and relevant to your life.
