Last night we officially began VBS at One Spirit. Some neighborhood kids mixed with our kids began their journey studying about the three kings who visited Jesus at his birth.
Back a few rooms from the Sanctuary a group of about 10 adults and me met to do our own E.D.G.E. study about Joshua. We were talking about how Joshua was chosen as one of the spies to check out the Promised Land. On their return 10 of the tribe's chosen spies declared that God's people could not beat the giants in the armies of the promised land and refused to enter. Only two, Joshua and Caleb stated they were confident that the Lord would deliver them if that was the land that He wanted them to go to.
What a simple story with such an amazing significance to our church. Here we stand looking for growth and new life while trying to handle our "giants". The economy, an aging building, needed improvements, strapped resources, culture and age differences. We have some who think the giants we face are too big. But I believe that God wants us to take them on and if that's what God wants, then HE WILL DELIVER!! Just a thought .....
