A New and Better Season is Coming

by Pastor Paul Frank August 31, 2019
written by Pastor Paul Frank August 31, 2019

Did you feel that moment just now when all the planets came back into the right alignment and all is right with the world again?

You know what that means? Are you ready for some FOOTBALL? Oh yeah!

At Hosanna Lutheran Church, we have a lot of Skyline, Red Mountain, Mountain View and Desert Ridge high school students, so the rivalries are plentiful, but friendly. And I love pro, college, and high school football.

Now, I know this is hard to believe, but some people out there, you know, like my wife, are just not fired up about football season starting. I know, it’s weird. Kathy couldn’t care less about it.

But she looks forward to other seasons starting — like cooler temperatures, fall hiking, more time on the patio and around the fire pit in the evenings, and seeing a number of friends return to Mesa after avoiding the heat of summer.

It’s the start of Snow Bird season in a sense. It’s hiking season again. It’s getting outside and enjoying this amazing creation of God season again. It’s also a time to remember that God keeps bringing us into new seasons in our lives, and new seasons in our life together.

Sometimes you really need a new season in your life to begin. Maybe you just need that last season to end.

One of the enduring and endearing promises of God throughout His Holy Word is the promise that life will go on and the seasons of life will transition, one to the next. There will always be a new and better season coming along.

Life is difficult at times — painful, challenging, and confusing. And yet, in the midst of it all, Jesus said, as he prepared to ascend back to his heavenly throne, “I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The key word there is ALWAYS. It’s his promise to be with us, to comfort and guide, and reassure us in all times, always. In every season of life, God is with you. He will not leave you. He will not forsake you.

This ever-present love, mercy and grace of Christ our Savior is what we celebrate, and live in, at Hosanna Lutheran Church.

To learn more about his great grace, come join us Sunday mornings at 8 and 10:30 a.m., and throughout the weeks as well. We are at 9601 E. Brown Road. Check us out at www.hosanna-lcms.com.
