Video Series: “He’s Still Got the Whole World in His Hands.” 3 Part Video/Study by Andy Stanley from North Point Church Held after worship from 11:30-12:30 on October 21, October 28, and November 4. How do we remain hopeful in a world that seems hopelessly broken? How do we continue to trust a God that seems conspicuously absent? How do we find peace in a world that is spinning out of control? If you’ve ever asked questions like these, you’re not alone . . . and you’re not the first. Uncertainty is nothing new. And the uncertainty we face today is no different from the uncertainty faced by the men and women of the Bible. And like them, we are left to question God’s faithfulness, his presence, his concern. In this 3-part series, we’re reminded that . . . He’s Still Got the Whole World in His Hands. You may attend just one session, but attendance at all three is highly recommended! Friends from the community are encouraged and welcome!
