This past weekend at Momentum was proof in fact that we serve a God that speaks. Some may place their token of devotion at the base of a speechless, lifeless deity but I am here to say that we serve a risen savior and He is in this world today. This Jesus visited with His people this past Sunday. We placed our hearts in a room prepared and ready to receive from God and He did not disappoint.
We had a service that focused in on worship, prayer, contemplation and meditation. In it’s simplicity the clarity of God’s voice was heard. It was beautiful hearing people share afterwards in the foyer about how powerful the service was. From roughnecks, to hipsters, to 30-something parents to our treasured folks in their golden years God was speaking. As pastor this blesses me deeply. I love that our people are hearing His voice. I also love the confidence I can have in God to speak. Lord help me to continue to rest in that reality. Yes we will work hard to prepare experiences and teachings that will make us receptive to what God is saying, but we find rest in the fact that He desires to speak more than we desire to allow Him to speak through us. He desires to touch you more than we desire to see you touched. He looks for us to do our part then get out of His way so He can do what no one else is capable of.
What a Morning! What a precursor to Easter. I can’t wait to see what God will do next Sunday.
Thank you Lord for this past week and with great anticipation we look forward to the coming weekend.
