God designed creation perfectly in His image, made to know Him and live in His goodness. Humanity was designed to be rooted in God’s goodness, grounded in His love, truth, and guidance. However, as a result of humanity’s sin, mankind is broken and has rooted their lives in sources other than the Gospel of Jesus. This not only hurts others, but also themselves. Although nobody signs up for trials, God is not only with us in the midst of them but has a purpose behind them. At Winter Retreat 2025, we will unpack the beauty of being rooted in God’s love to weather the storms of life for our good and His glory.
