ANCHOR + WAVES Mission Hills Church

Sonder, is the realization that each person you meet has a life as complex as your own. Often we are surprised when we take the time to get to know someone on a deeper level and find similarities you would have never guessed by simply looking at them. These moments are ordained by God to encourage us in our walk with him. Join Stacy, Jacque, and special guest Evangeline North as she shares about her complex trauma and how God has brought her to a place of healing.

Christmas can be filled with all the joy of the season but sometimes the true meaning of Christmas gets pushed aside unintentionally with all the fun things we try and do. Join Stacy and Jacque as they talk about how to walk through the season a little more intentionally. The ladies discuss ideas to help you plan and respond to everything coming at you a little less. They discuss ways to consider what you want the season to look like and how to keep it about Jesus.

Join Kim Fearing and her mother-in-law, Dr. Molly Fearing, as they have a candid conversation about the dynamics of their “in-law” relationship alongside their theological understanding of Ruth and its contemporary application.

=============================
Reflection:
=============================
✅ How do you live from a place of remembrance about who God is - in practical, everyday ways?
✅ What keeps you from intimacy in family relationships? What is there to celebrate in those relationships?
✅ How can you remain curious about challenging family members? What are some questions you can ask instead of judgment?
✅ What do you need from God in order to bring healing and restoration into some of those relationships?

From death to life. From famine to fertile land. From emptiness to fullness. We see the lives of Ruth and Naomi come full circle as God creates new life. With the creation of life comes the reminder that God desired his creation to live life to the fullest in the beginning and continues with that same desire. No one is forgotten in the story. Just as Obed is a sign of new life in Ruth, we live in remembrance that God will send his Son as the ultimate resurrection of new life. That is cause for celebration.

=============================
Scripture/Book Reading:
=============================
📖 Ruth Chapter 4

=============================
Reflection:
=============================
✅ What would it take for you to boldly pray as Ruth, Naomi and Boaz do in this chapter? Could you boldly write that prayer or even say it?
✅ Has there been a time in your life where you’ve chosen the easier path that didn’t interrupt your journey, even though you felt a compulsion from God to do something different? What held you back (i.e. loss of status, fear of something, shame, false image of self or God)? I’m guessing at the root of that reason is a lie - either about who you are or who God is. Can you name it?
✅ When you think of others seeing the character of God within you, name what that would be or what you hope that would be. Ask God to help you with that spiritual formation.
✅ Where do you see signs of new life that could only come from God and give cause for celebration?

“See, I am doing a new thing! Not it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19
