Interruptions
For planners and control-minded people, interruptions feel like obstacles - unwanted disruptions to progress. Yet life cannot be lived without them. In fact, much of life happens in the interruptions, not just in what we plan.
Scripture shows us that God often works through what appear to be interruptions - moments that disrupt routines and redirect lives. These are not accidents, but divine opportunities to see God more clearly, listen more attentively, and grow in trust and relationship with Him.
Lent invites us to welcome this kind of holy interruption. It is a season to loosen our grip on control, open our hearts, and allow God to interrupt our “normally scheduled programming” with His purposes. Join us for this Lenten series as we explore biblical stories of divine interruption and learn to see the unexpected moments of our lives as opportunities to encounter Christ and go deeper with Him.
