"For I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from his love. Death can't, and life can't. The angels won't, and all the powers of hell itself cannot keep God's love away." Romans 8:38 (TLB)
Dear Saddleback Family,
This past week in Southern California has been hard on a lot of people. On top of the rising COVID numbers, we also had to deal with another wildfire here in Lake Forest. Many of our members had to evacuate their homes in order to stay safe.
I know a lot of you are tired. You're discouraged. You're depressed. But you need to know that no matter how bad life gets - no matter how bad 2020 gets - you can rest in one important truth: God won't stop loving you. That truth should be one of the most important sources of joy in your life.
When you put your hand in God's hand, he grabs it and won't let go. God holds on to you with all he has. You'll have times in your life when you'll want to let go of God's hand. You'll want to give up your commitment to Christ when times get tough.
But God won't let go of you - ever. Once you put your hand in his, it's there to stay.
Don't go through life alone. There are people out there who are waiting to love you and support you. If you're in a small group, stay connected. Don't isolate yourself. Lean into your relationships. If you're feeling alone and don't have that community yet, there's a group for you.
I love you. I'm praying for you. We'll get through this together!

Learn More Saddleback at Home Church News Saddleback Member's Tears of Sorrow Turned Into Tears of Joy After Devastating Loss
Over the past four decades, Saddleback has helped thousands of people learn how to live out God's purposes for their life. One of the ways our church does this is through CLASS, a seminar series that teaches people about growing in their faith.
Class 201 helps people dive deeper into their relationship with Jesus Christ through reading Scripture, memorizing Bible verses, and starting a daily quiet time. CLASS at Saddleback has had to make some adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the program is still thriving and changing lives.
Recently, one of our Saddleback Irvine North members decided to take Class 201 as she searched for hope and purpose during the most difficult season of her life. The woman not only lost her job during the pandemic, but their family was crushed when she suffered a miscarriage.
"The baby was growing and everything was fine and then the doctor told me that the baby stopped growing," the woman said as she choked back tears. "He didn't have a heartbeat anymore, it was devastating."
The grief was crippling, but still the woman and her family leaned into their faith - trusting that God would also draw near to them in their time of sorrow. He did.
"In all of these experiences this year, God has been there the whole time," she said. "He has been comforting me ... and I know that when I am suffering he is right there alongside me."
As days turned into weeks and weeks turned into months, the woman's tears of sorrow turned into tears of joy as she grew in her relationship with Christ. She said the spiritual habits she learned in Class 201 played a huge role as she began to trust God with her deepest hurt.
"[One] habit that they talked about was memorizing Bible verses," she said, "and I feel like that's just crucial in our spiritual walk."
The words of Ephesians 3:20 comforted the woman beyond what she could've ever imagined in the midst of such uncertainty in the world and personal suffering: "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."
While the loss of her unborn child still weighs heavily on her heart, she knows that God is healing her day by day and guiding her steps.
"I really just lean on that," she said. "We may have our plan and our timing of when we want things and what we want to happen, but God's plan is exceedingly and abundantly above ours." Saddleback at Home California Health Officials Announce a Regional Stay at Home Order Triggered by ICU Capacity

죽음은 그럴 수 없다. 그리고 인생은 그럴 수 없습니다.
천사들은 그렇지 않을 것이다. 지옥의 모든 권세도 그 자체로 지킬 수 없느니라 하나님의 사랑이 사라졌습니다."

새들백 회원의 슬픔의 눈물이 바뀌었습니다 기쁨의 눈물 속으로 엄청난 손실 이후
지난 40년 동안, 새들백이 도움이 됐어요 수천명이 배운다 하나님의 목적을 어떻게 실천할 것인가 그들의 삶을 위해.
우리 교회가 이 일을 하는 방법 중 하나는 세미나 시리즈인 CLASS를 통해 사람을 가르치는 일 그들의 믿음이 자라는 것에 대해.
클래스 201은 사람들이 더 깊이 다이빙할 수 있도록 도와줍니다. 예수 그리스도와의 관계 속으로 성경읽기를 통해 성경구절을 암기하고, 매일 조용한 시간을 시작합니다.
Saddleback의 CLASS는 약간의 조정을 해야 했습니다. 코로나19 팬데믹 기간 동안, 하지만 이 프로그램은 여전히 번창하고 있으며 삶을 변화시키고 있습니다.
최근 Saddleback Irvine North 회원 중 한 명이 201학번을 수강하기로 결정했습니다 그녀가 희망과 목적을 찾으면서 그녀의 인생에서 가장 어려운 계절에.
그 여자는 직장을 잃었을 뿐만 아니라 대유행 기간 동안, 하지만 그들의 가족은 무너졌습니다 그녀가 유산을 겪었을 때.
"아기가 자라고 있었어. 그리고 모든 게 괜찮았어 그리고 의사가 나한테 말했지 아기가 성장을 멈췄어요."
여자가 말했다 그녀는 눈물을 참으며 말했다.
"그는 더 이상 심장 박동이 없었습니다. 그것은 파괴적이었다."
슬픔이 가물가물했고, 하지만 여전히 그 여자와 그 가족은 그들의 믿음 속으로 - 하나님이 또한 그들에게 가까이 오실 것을 신뢰하였느니라 슬픔의 시간에.
그는 그랬다.
"올해 이 모든 경험 속에서 하나님은 거기 계셨습니다. 내내," 그녀가 말했다.
"그 사람이 나를 위로해줬는데... 그리고 나도 그걸 알아 내가 괴로워할 때 그 사람이 바로 거기 있어 나랑 같이."
며칠이 몇 주로 바뀌면서 몇 주가 몇 달이 되었고 그 여자의 슬픔의 눈물은 기쁨의 눈물로 바뀌었습니다 그녀가 성장하면서 그리스도와의 관계에서.
그녀가 말했다 그녀가 배운 영적 습관 201학년 큰 역할을 했다 그녀가 하나님을 믿기 시작하면서 그녀의 가장 깊은 상처로.
"[하나] 습관 그들이 얘기했던 것 성경구절을 외우고 있었어요." 그녀가 말했다, "그리고 내 기분은 그게 정말 중요해 우리의 영적 행보에 있어서."
에베소서 3장 20절의 말씀이 그 여자를 위로했습니다. 그녀가 상상했던 것 이상으로 그런 불확실성 속에서 세상과 개인적인 고통 속에서:
"이제 심히 넘치도록 능히 행하실 이에게 무엇보다도 우리가 구하는 것이나 생각하는 것 위에 힘에 따라 그게 우리한테 효과가 있어."
아직 태어나지 않은 아이를 잃은 슬픔이 무겁지만 그녀의 마음에는 그녀는 알고있다 하나님께서 날마다 그 사람을 고치신다는 것을 그리고 그녀의 발걸음을 인도합니다.
"나는 정말로 그것에 의지하고 있어요." 그녀가 말했다. "우리 계획이 있을 수도 있지 그리고 우리가 물건을 원하는 타이밍 그리고 우리가 원하는 일이 무엇인지, 그러나 하나님의 계획은 심히 풍부하게 우리보다 위에."
