WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IN WORSHIP

Collapse: Hope When Everything Falls Apart

Some things fall apart slowly. Others come down before we’ve figured out where the cracks were. In this series, we’ll turn to biblical stories of fractured families, broken friendships, and a society under siege to ask what faith looks like when we can’t hold everything together. These stories offer no easy fixes, but they do offer wisdom for taking responsibility, living with what we cannot repair, and finding the courage to build something hopeful together.

Rev. Tom Hathaway - October 11, 2026

Sharing a Life

There's a big difference between having a roommate and having a partner. Roommates might share a home, expenses, and even values. But partners share their lives, combining their strengths and resources to accomplish things they couldn't do alone. What if the same distinction applies to our relationship with God? In 1 John, we're invited into something more than simply believing in God or embracing Jesus' values. We're invited into fellowship with God. Through the remarkable story of Corrie ten Boom, we explore what that relationship might offer us when our own capacity for love, compassion, and forgiveness runs out.

Scripture References: 1 John 1:1-10
