While I’m not a Facebook stalker, it was very cool to see a bunch of posts from you all this past Sunday talking about the great worship, the movement of the Lord, etc. I truly believe God is among us and using us for His glory.
We’re wrapping up the physical part of the remodeling over the next couple of weeks. Having walked through the remade areas, I think they are truly going to serve our children and youth in great ways.
This Sunday is Father’s Day and I’m really charged up about the message and the parent/child dedication service that will happen. It’s such a joy to pray over newborns and their families. The message is designed around Christ, the bride, and our role as dads/husbands. Frankly, it is an extreme blessing to be both a husband and a father. God has blessed me with a world class wife (I married so far over my pay grade that it isn’t funny) and kids who love the Lord and seek to serve him. Within our church, we are surrounded by families with similar qualities. That’s the hand of God’s blessing upon our church and ministry.
On a personal level – this week has been one with a lot of twists and turns. It’s just kind of been one of those weeks that makes you go, “Why?” But in the middle of all the “Why’s?” and “Oh no’s” you or I might have – the reality that God sits on His throne working all together for good assures me and I hope it assures you too. While it’s been awhile since the “VIII” series, I’m dialed in right there right now. It’s also great to know that Forum has a great staff and great elders to know that I can turn to them for prayer and support. Just so that I’m very clear on this point – so can you. That’s part of the point of this “I Do” series. God designed us for family – families in our homes and the family of God. As the bride of Christ we do submit to those who are placed by the Lord in positions above us for the sake of serving and leading us. Just as Christ served the church, husbands/fathers serve their families, elders serve/lead/guard/protect/nourish/cherish the church. That’s the role.
Looking forward to a great day of worship with you this Sunday. Let’s come into the presence of our heavenly Father together this Sunday and lift His name high. See you then, Scott
