An Anthem Played on Broken Strings
Rev. Benjamin Wines
Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14
We look forward to joining you in Worship this Sunday, starting at 11:00AM in the Sanctuary. You can also find our services online at the HVBC YouTube Channel. Today’s sermon is titled, “An Anthem Played on Broken Strings”. We will be reading from Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14, and our Call to Worship comes from Psalm 33.
Call to Worship Psalm 33:1-5, 20-22

People: And all his work is done in faithfulness.

Questions for Further Reflection:
In this passage, hope is not a quick fix; it’s a process.
How does hope help us grow through difficult times?
How does God’s presence affect that process?
