Change is an often uncomfortable and disruptive force--yet nothing is more inevitable than the necessity of adapting to new circumstances. Whether it's leaving home, moving to a new city, getting married, having children, changing jobs, losing a parent, or retiring, we face many major transitions throughout our lives. Taking its inspiration from the familiar scripture passage of Ecclesiastes 3:1-8(For everything there is a season...'), A Faith For All Seasons explores how a vital relationship with Jesus Christ is essential for coping with the constant flux of contemporary life. When radical changes rock our world, the Lord guides and comforts us--and gives us the security to face the future with confidence. This eight-session study resource includes thought-provoking stories and personal anecdotes, prayers, scripture study, discussion questions, and other small-group activities, all designed to foster a deeper understanding of how our Christian faith can help us endure, survive, and even thrive amidst the turbulent waters of change--because we are in the loving arms of a God who never changes!
