Behind the Scenes

While 2013 has had several projects that were large and visible, the year has been primarily filled with behind-the-scenes work at Life Bridge.  In 2014, we will begin to see the fruit of this quiet work as more and more pieces of the path are implemented and available to empower you.

Join us this weekend (9:30 or 11:00 a.m.) as we imagine together what God has planned for us in 2014.

Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness. Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ. (Colossians 2:7-8 NLT)

See you then!

10,000 Foot View

Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go up this mountain in the Abarim Range and see the land I have given the Israelites. (Numbers 27:12 NIV)

Much of Moses' day would be spent listening to individual cases, giving individual direction, and working through the details of teaching people to walk together with God.  Every once in awhile, though, the LORD would take Moses up on a mountain to talk with him or to do something like showing him the promised land.  Moses got to spend some time alone with God at 10,000 feet above sea level to look at the "big picture."

Most of ministry is done in a day-to-day, moment-by-moment way.  To be sure, there are schedules and plans and calendars just like any other calling, but, just like any other calling, life is filled with "surprises" and "interruptions."  I put those words in quotes because God is never surprised and Godcidences are never interruptions.  Every so often, though, I get the opportunity to "back up" and see more of the big picture.  This was one of those weeks.
