As Tyler Morris introduced me to a new worshiper at Forum who moved here from Springfield, this new person started talking to me about Moses’ journey and the journey all of us are on. He started talking about how he thinks the Lord is growing His church and how great it is that Forum is focused on His word in such a relevant way.
I hope and pray you can continually sense things new and afresh at Forum. God is working and continues to advance His kingdom agenda here. I know that’s hard to do. It’s hard to keep a childlike sense of wonder and awe. You don’t have to lose the bewildered awe, splendor, and joy in the Lord. Keep your eyes focused on our great big God who is doing great things.
As a church body who is shaped by scripture, God calls us to mourn with those who mourn. (Romans 12:15)
Early Monday morning, Carol Conley went to be with the Lord. She loved the Lord very much and it showed to those who knew her well. She spent great amounts of time in God’s word. She devoted much time to memorizing God’s word and putting it deep within her heart. Among her closest friends are Sealann Bradford and Melinda Roe. Please keep her friends and family in your prayers.
As we continue our journey with Moses and God’s people this week we will explore the dangers of forgetting God's constant provision and leading in our lives. God puts His precepts in front of us – and often – we forget.
As a nation, we’ll also be celebrating our freedom. Just as Israel often forgot God, His provision, His goodness, and His law – it’s easy for us to lose sight of the freedom and wonders of this land. It’s easy to treat our freedom with license and abuse it. May we be a people on purpose and dialed in to the things of God.
Looking forward to worshiping with you Sunday. – Scott
