Something is Afoot

Dear Partners in the Good News,

I was away last weekend, and a relationship was renewed. I didn’t want to go. I had plans, important plans that included writing and working at being at SWC to hear Steve Sandefur’s message on seeing people through God’s eyes. But, wisdom and Paula prevailed and we travelled as a family to visit family in Michigan. I missed you, but it was good.

Today has been a long day in the office, but as the day lengthens, I am again feeling renewal. I listened to Steve’s sermon, initially with other things getting part of my attention, then I set them aside. Several times I thought, “This is good,” in part referring to the preacher’s words, in part for the effect it was having on me. I have 80% prepared for next Sunday’s sermon and am about to turn my attention to the coming season of sermons and other activities. But I had to stop to write this note to you.

I believe God has more renewing to do among us—new things, built on the past, but leaning toward the future. Some things stirring in me will have to wait until I’ve talked with some people. A few are going to sound like simple announcements, so you will have to put some spiritual sensitivity into them:
• Sunday the focus will be on “Seeing the Future through God’s Eyes.” Pray for me and yourself, and all of us, as we listen to what God might be saying to us.
• The following week will begin a two month journey that may really change how we relate with God. That’s a big thing to say, and I don’t have delusions of earth-shaking sermons. But, it seems to me that the teachings may have a little to do with what God is inviting you and I to experience.

I’m going to get back to work, now, so check out the webpage for a few other announcements. I just wanted to share these thoughts with you and encourage you to come to church with high expectations and hearts open to the Holy Spirit. It seems to me, in Narnia language, that the Lion is on the move.

Remember, God’s love for you is deep and high, wide and long. And, I’m pretty fond of you, too.

Blessings in the Battle,
Pastor David
