Listen "45. August 7, 2022: Guest Speaker Josh Wang “Hope in the Midst of Grief”"
Episode Synopsis
In today’s message, which originally aired on August 7, 2022, we got to hear again form a friend of The Gathering, Josh Wang! Josh is the Lead Pastor of Renewal Church, and we love it when he comes to share the word.
Josh is speaking from the book of 1 Thessalonians. The closing words of 1 Thessalonians could be the earliest benediction in the New Testament. Humanity was created to abide in God’s presence, to live in a way that is utterly distinct. These words were an invitation to live by the Spirit, to adopt a depth of joy, trust and gratitude when facing the harsh realities of the world. This blessing was not only instructive, but simultaneously inspiring, comforting and life-changing.
