      • Is God Really Good All the Time

      Hope in the Valley

      Steven Curtis Chapman | March 19, 2017

      When we’re broken inside, waiting for a miracle, and searching for a way out of the valley, it’s easy to think we’ve been abandoned by God. But the difference between our thoughts and God’s hope is everything! Even when life doesn't make sense, we can still find peace, joy, and hope in his goodness. In this message at Saddleback Church, singer-songwriter Steven Curtis Chapman joins Pastor Rick Warren in a discussion about leaning on God when we can’t stand on our own, and how tests of faith can help shape our story.

      Is God Really Good All the Time? – Part 2
      Living in the Goodness of God – Part 8
      Rick Warren and Steven Curtis Chapman
      March 18, 2017

      Action Plan:  Do you know somebody who is in a difficult season right now?  Offer to serve them in some way this week. Bringing them a meal, offering to run an errand for them, whatever it may be.

      Action Plan:  Set a reminder for yourself that God is present with you. Write it down, set an alarm, or set some other reminder so that this truth is before your eyes throughout the day.

      Action Plan:  If you are not in a small group, now is a great time to join one. You were made to do life in community. Go to http://saddleback.com/connect/smallgroups/explore to help you get started.
