Ready, Set, GO! This week has been on my radar particularly because Sunday we begin a new message series: God’s Story, Our Story! We will begin with God’s Story with Abraham in Genesis 12-25, then God’s story with Isaac, Jacob and Joseph… then it’s on to Exodus and Moses, Egypt, the wilderness, ups/downs, twists/turns, from deliverers, to judges, to prophets, priests and kings, captivity, slavery, lions dens and more… God’s plan for Jesus coming is an adventure ride. But there is no doubt, it’s all pointing to Jesus.
And here is the beauty of God’s story. When we understand God’s story, and we can understand God’s story in our story, we will understand our place in God’s story. So, this is important stuff to know and to engage, it’s all found in God’s story and can be found in Jesus. And you know what Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.” So let’s dive in – let’s ask, seek, and knock… and open our hands to receive, be ready to find, and anticipate the door to open.
Lord, we want to know you and we want to share your love. So reveal yourself to us in your story, by your power and spirit, open our eyes to see you, our hearts to know you, and our wills to then follow you. AMEN.
It’s not too late to consider joining the growing list of people that will be involved in Crestview Core beginning Sunday following our worship hour, from 10:45-11:45am. We will journey together this fall in God’s Story/Our Story. See you Sunday,
Having fun getting ready. You want to be more ready? Review Abraham’s life from God’s story in Genesis 12-25. What is God doing in Abraham and Sarah? How are Abraham and Sarah in God’s story? Why Abraham and Sarah? How is their story (God’s story), our story?
See you Sunday,
Pastor Mark
