Wasn’t the dance both God honoring and uplifting this past Sunday? Let me encourage you – even in this moment – to ask God what He would have you to do.
There’s one of our staff meetings that happens the first Tuesday of every month. As a staff, we begin the meeting talking about how God is working within the ministry of Forum. Here lately that meeting has become nearly a mini revival. We see God working in so many of your lives (He’s working in everyone’s life, but simultaneously there are times when it stands out).
We see:
• Hearts turning to God for the first time
• Families coming together
• People stepping up in service within the church
• People stepping up in service within the community
• Children, youth, and teens making God honoring decisions
• Dads stepping up as the spiritual pacesetter within their households
• Elders striving to connect with people while simultaneously striving to lead our church to connect people with Jesus
• Attitudes of change and flexibility that are helping to facilitate growth
• Deacons who are serving in great ways
• Moms who are pouring themselves into their families and children
• Life groups connecting with each other around the word of God and having intense times of prayer for one another
• Individuals sharing their faith and leading other people to Jesus
• Worship pouring out of our hearts each time we gather on Sunday
• God’s word being taught and preached in every segment of our church body
This Sunday we continue “dancing” as we center in on the celebration of life out of Psalm 139. This is a great text of encouragement and challenge. I’d encourage you to invite any parent of preschoolers and elementary age children who you’ve wanted to draw close to the Lord. There will be a great section of the message aimed for them.
Looking forward to Sunday - Scott
