For many of us, our faith can slip away because of crises or the daily grind. “Finding Faith” explores five different kinds of experiences in which we encounter God in surprising ways and rediscover the meaning of faith. Through five weeks of Lent you will explore how to find faith through: * surrender; * adoration; * suffering; * struggle, and * dedication. Based on the Gospel of Luke, each session includes daily scripture readings, a meditation exercise, a reflection on a well-known hymn, and insights from spiritual sages throughout history: St. Patrick, Ephrem the Syrian, Julian of Norwich, John of the Cross, and Thomas à Kempis. This five-session study is suitable for individuals or small groups and is ideal for a worship or sermon series. The North Church study guides are ideal for both individual and small-group use, and as companion guides to sermon series. Each study guide includes background information and questions for personal reflection and small-group discussions. And all of the studies have been “road tested” with a real congregation — North United Methodist Church in Indianapolis, Indiana.
