Life is full of changes, challenges... victories and defeats.  Sooner or later, we all experience many of the same ups and downs.  The Bible recognizes this and is quick to point this out in Ecclesiastes 3.  The difference between a child of God and an unbeliever is what the array of experiences means and accomplishes.  Today's sermon is a good reminder that our circumstances are not random, and God can and does use them for good IF we have put our life in the hands of His Son, Jesus.  In the midst of a change of pastors, cultural upheaval, and on the tail end of a global pandemic, it's nice to know that God is still with you and has a reason for every season you will go through.
