Growth Happens

I know that life is filled with surprises and most all of us experience them. We have unexpected turns, delays, issues, and seasons that we didn't see coming. It is often in the midst of all these types of occasions that God is teaching us something. Do we hear his voice? Do we see it beyond the circumstance to embrace what God is showing us, teaching us?

Growth happens to those that understand its opportunities. Our spiritual growth is so important and yet do we even see the opportunities that present themselves or do we continue to see the stuff of life as just...LIFE. I propose a what if. What if we began to believe that God is speaking, He is reaching, He is so desiring to connect to each of us and grow us. Our growth happens as a result of planting a seed, taking a step, or making a stand. Depending on your season and whats happening around you, you may need to do something. Don't let any of the excuses stop you from all that God wants to do in you and for you. ACTION

Action

I recently received some promotional material for upcoming conferences. I read a powerful quote from Bill Hybels ..."Personally, I've never understood inactivity. Why a person would sit when he could soar, be a spectator when he could play, or atrophy when he could develop...is beyond me."

This is a call to action. This is a challenge of no longer spectating from the sidelines but participation. I truly believe that God has placed a calling on His church and that we are always to act on that call. However each season has its own importance. That is why I am very passionate about God's call to action in this season, in this time of our life.

Scripture calls for "workers in the field" and that if we don't faint we can reap a great harvest. I am privileged and excited to share in this new series "Action". Hope to see you this Sunday.

He is Risen!

Oh, the glory of it all is He came here for the rescue of us all that we may live for the glory of it all.(Crowder)

I love how God takes dust and dirt and makes something beautiful out of it and out of us.

He is Risen - He is Risen Indeed!
