Family Narratives

Our lives are made up of moments which in a vacuum don't seem to have any greater purpose or meaning. But our stories take on fuller meaning in light of the stories that came before us: our parents' stories, their parents' stories, and ultimately the Bible. When we reflect on how our stories link to the stories of the Bible, we are confronted with our darkest fears and deepest wounds. However, it's in the Bible that we also find hope and purpose for our lives, because the gospel narrative is one in which Jesus' crucifixion becomes His resurrection - in which all the world's sin and brokenness shows itself, and Jesus responds with love.
