Life is full of changes. There are season changes, changes of scenery and sometimes we have a change of plans. That change of plans can come because of our doing or it can come to us when we didn't plan it or expect it. What do we do when it is the latter and how do we react to that change? And what about when our plans change because of the gospel? What does that even look like? Last week we began a new series at Mount Hope, A Life You Can be Proud Of, and we discovered that a life we can be proud of may look different than what the world would say is a life to be proud of. As we continue, we dive right back into 2 Corinthians to learn that sometimes our plans need to change in order for the gospel to go forward. We need to ask ourselves the pertinent question of whether or not we hold our plans loosely enough to be changed for Kingdom purposes and allow the Lord to teach us what that means.

Since we are all different, it shouldn't be a surprise that we may have varying ideas on what makes a life one to be proud of. Certainly we can all think of at least one person that we know that is living a life worth being proud of. So what does that kind of life look like? And how is a life to be proud of marked by God? At Mount Hope, we are beginning a new sermon series entitled A Life You Can Be Proud Of, through the book of 2 Corinthians. In our first week, we learned about suffering and comfort and how God's Word speaks in to both of these areas as they are part of life. How we walk through suffering and how we comfort others matters to the heart of God.
