What an exciting time to be a part of the family here at Forum. If the number of baptisms and people who are growing in their faith is any indication of the work God is doing, then we are truly witnessing God at work.
In step with that, I want to briefly highlight some of the incredible people God is using here at Forum to accomplish His work:
- The Elders have shown a deep passion and energy for caring and leading in ways that faithfully represent Christ’s heart and love for people.
- Our Deacons continue to serve in ways that are so characteristic of Christ’s attitude of service, and they are a great example for all of us to follow.
- The wide range of people who volunteer often go unnoticed by many, but we see so many of them working tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of so many people.
- Staff members are going above and beyond to take Forum to a new level of excellence and Christ focused ministry.
- Our various Life Groups, Men’s and Women’s Groups, and bible studies continue to help people grow in ways that facilitate Christ like followers.
Here is the bottom line: I see Jesus being praised, preached, worshipped, followed, and faithfully represented. I see it on Sunday mornings as well as throughout the week. What a powerful reflection of the things going on at Forum, and what a testimony to what God can do when His people are aligned with His will.
As Easter approaches, I begin to think of what Christ gave, and I can’t help but wonder, “Is my life reflective of that kind of sacrifice?” As many Christians are observing Lent, and as there are many who are giving up something during this season – there are also those who don’t “give-up” something, but “start-up” something. Instead of abstaining from chocolate, they read through all the Gospel accounts before Easter. Instead of not eating meat, they pray for an extra 30 minutes a day. You get the idea…either way it’s to prepare for resurrection Sunday. How will you prepare for the resurrection celebration of Jesus?
I look forward to worshipping with you all on Sunday – Bradley
