It has now been about a month since our arrival back in Sydney. As the dust starts to settle I am being challenged to listen to God for His plans rather than tell Him what I am going to do. It really is a challenge for “let’s get stuff done” George but it is what His kingdom is about.
After all, it is His kingdom. He has His plans. He has been working long before I got here and I need to find where He is working and focus my energies there. It is appearing like it will be quite different from what I thought. Why does that surprise me? Maybe because I was walking by sight and NOT by faith. You think so?
Usually when I have moved to a new work, the boundaries and parameters were pretty evident. Usually it was a church with an existing membership, leadership and direction. But this time the connections that God is showing me don’t look like churches I have worked with in the past. I’m not talking about teaching. It is still the pure gospel of Jesus but I am talking about the people God is leading me to. Northside Church is our beginning point but some how I think God doesn’t quite see the boundaries we do.
Interesting times, to say the least. Please pray for Julie and I as we move further into this adventure in His kingdom. Can’t wait to see what God is going to show us next.
Preaching on Life in the Kingdom this week. Starting a list of core values in the Kingdom. What do you think should be high on that list?
