Dealing with Disappointments
No one gets through this life without having to deal with some level of disappointment.
Whether it is personal failure, or health and financial let downs, or relationships that dont turn out as expected, we all have to face these discouragements with godly and spiritual principles guiding our hearts and steps. Otherwise our reactions to life's twists and turns can result in worse things than the original hurts.
This four part Bible Discussion series can help your church of small group navigate these challenges with grace and peace.
