Summary
There is a time for everything, as God's Word says. There are times to mourn, to learn, to rest, to laugh, to grieve. In this past season, it may have felt like there were more times for harder things than there were times for celebration. We, as a community, as a nation, and as a world, have faced many trying things in the past 18 months. We've had to walk through the unknown and the unforeseen.

There is a time for everything, as God's Word says. There are times to mourn, to learn, to rest, to laugh, to grieve. In this past season, it may have felt like there were more times for harder things than there were times for celebration. We, as a community, as a nation, and as a world, have faced many trying things in the past 18 months. We've had to walk through the unknown and the unforeseen.
Yet, still we can celebrate. Why?
Because God has remained constant, faithful, and good.
While change has been ever-present in this season, God's goodness has not changed. While conflict is on the rise, God's goodness is still greater. While challenges, difficulties, and trials come, God's goodness goes before us – He walks ahead of us, in control over all.
So, regardless of what circumstances have looked like for you this past year – whether it's been a season of plenty or a season of want – will you celebrate with us? Will you choose to look at the goodness of God in your life and celebrate those sweet and special moments? Will you make this a time to celebrate, faithfully and joyfully, because our God has remained true to Himself even when our world has changed?
In this series, Celebrating God's Goodness, we challenge and invite you to celebrate with us, as we head into 1 Thessalonians and discover God's goodness found in this book of the Bible. Each week, we will walk through a chapter together and will begin to consider how we can find God's goodness in each and every day. He is good, always, so let's make this season one where we can be grateful and thankful for His goodness in our lives.
