Hope in Hardship | Naomi | The Bridge Church - Cory Shumate

About this sermon

There are times in your life where we would say pain is in our life. Other times, it feels like pain is more than that—that pain defines our life. Naomi was a case of the latter, to the point that she described herself as "empty". When faced with all kinds of hardship and hopelessness, in times where our lives seem empty and defined by our pain, what do we do? Where do we find strength? Purpose? Hope? The story of Naomi shows us that the call of the follower of Jesus is not to look away from hardship, but to look at it fully…and keep looking at it until, by God’s grace, the brokenness we saw at first becomes absorbed into something more complex… more counterintuitive… or even more beautiful than what we saw at first glance.
