Hope for the Journey | Babies and the Plans of God

In Jeremiah babies are central to the plans and purposes of God. In this message we look together at how babies represent both the problems and the blessings that God wants to address today. Please note: This message discusses the issue of abortion, both the sin that it is and the hope that Jesus offers. If abortion – or a pregnancy in difficult circumstances – is part of your story, we want to walk with you in this. For prayer and counsel as you process this sermon, contact Christie Thompson, Calvary Care Ministry Assistant at (616)956-5628 to make an appointment. We have staff and congregants who understand difficult journeys and want to come alongside you. For men and women who have abortion as part of their story, you can find more information and support at Garden of Hope. For women facing a pregnancy in the midst of difficult circumstances, consider joining Flourish – our Bible study for single moms of small children. This group will help you connect with other resources of the church as well. Contact Sheri at (616)956-5524 to learn more. You can also find support and resources through Calvary’s community partner, Alpha Grand Rapids. For those grieving a miscarriage or the loss of an infant, Hannah’s Heart is a Calvary ministry provides comfort and support for women, couples, and families. They would be so honored to walk with you and encourage you on this incredibly difficult journey. Contact [email protected].
