Where are we going?
That depends. We’re all on the
way somewhere all the time. We’re on our
way to work, to school, to the store, to the movies, to vacation, to
retirement. It seems impossible to
NOT be on the way somewhere. Even when
we’re sleeping, we’re on our way to a new day.
What about spiritually?
Whether we intend to be or not, we’re all on the way spiritually as
well. We can be following Jesus’ way, or
another way, or drifting along with whatever comes our way. If we aren’t taking steps to keep ourselves
on track with God, then we’re likely to be drifting away. We can turn that around by just taking time
each day to turn to God and thank him for the day.
We also keep on track with going God’s way by coming
together each week for worship. An ongoing theme in worship is the celebration of the resurrection, and
talking about how we find joy through different aspects of following Jesus’
ways. Worship helps keep us going God's way.
Along the way we will hit some bumps, and I hope that church is
a place you can come to help you over the bumps, whether that means getting
questions answered, or finding a friendly face when you need one. May it be a place that you can get help
with questions and grow in your faith, and be strengthened and renewed to be
Jesus’ witnesses to the world. Most of
all, may you know that indescribable and glorious joy that comes from knowing
and trusting God in Christ along the way.
