Bold Moves

It started on an airplane two weeks ago.
I was flying back from a church planter’s Conference in Florida when God rocked my world.  Frankly, I had come to feel pretty good about how things were going at The Orchard.  We were just about to celebrate our first year of ministry, we had just baptized another small wave of people, our numbers were good, and everyone seemed generally happy.  At the conference, everything I heard and saw told me that we were doing great!

That’s when God rattled my cage.  The Holy Spirit began to call my name on that airplane.  He reminded me once again that building the Body of Christ was HIS job… Not mine.  He also showed me that He was at work all around me, and that HE WAS JUST GETTING STARTED!  He began to stir in my heart on that plane about making some big changes in what we’re doing. 
Over the next two weeks, as I prayed and investigated… HE continued to reveal ways that He was working, and to show me things that I had been blind to.  Here’s the kicker.  Over the last two weeks, GOD has opened some doors that had been FIRMLY SHUT before that airplane ride.  Miraculously, God has begun to make possible what seemed impossible. 
I hope you can join us for this THREE-WEEK MINI SERIES here at the end of May about three bold moves that I believe God is calling us to.
