Fostering Hope (James 1:17-27)

from Haverhill Commons Church · host Matt Webel

Our community believes God cares deeply for kids who need homes. We partner with Fostering Hope to care for children in vulnerable circumstances. Their founder and director, Jonathan Reid, shared with us this Sunday. We also heard from one of our own members serving on a Care Team. The God who is high above all things bends His power toward the powerless: the fatherless, the widow, the sojourner, three groups marked by relational loss, people without the structures of support God designed us to live within. This reminds us that God created human beings to flourish in safe and faithful relationships. When those relationships fracture or are lost, vulnerability follows. God does not distance Himself from that vulnerability but moves toward us. We welcome because we were welcomed. We love because we were loved. We draw near because God drew near to us. ***We apologize for the audio interference in this recording.***
