WOW!!! What a day today at Velocity Church! Today, I wrapped up a series called Mirrors: Your Faith Reflected. In week 1, we talked about the side view mirror of a car. We all know what it says, "Objects in mirror are closer than they appear." I shared some truths about why we need to know that, "Objects in mirrors are closer than they appear...So Is God." In week 2, I shared why we need to leave some things in the rear view mirror from our past, especially for people that have hurt us, through confession and extending forgiveness to them. Today, it was all about looking through God's mirrors and not our own. People were encouraged to stop looking through the mirrors of lies and start looking through God's mirrors, His Word. This series has been a pretty intense one, especially for me and some personal struggles I have been dealing with concerning burnout and having to work a secular job while pastoring. I came across a scripture today and the Holy Spirit put the following thought in my mind, "Now's the time for Velocity church and you as a pastor, and a leader, to begin "Moving Forward!" This is extremely important because Velocity Church's mission statement is "Velocity Church exists to lead people forward in their faith in God." Apparently, God needs me to know that before Velocity can lead people forward, that as a church, we need to move forward as well.
Isaiah 43:18-19 (ncv) 18 The Lord says, “Forget what happened before, and do not think about the past. 19 Look at the new thing I am going to do. It is already happening. Don’t you see it? I will make a road in the desert and rivers in the dry land.
