A View for God’s Work
“Jesus answered them, ‘My Father is working until now, and I am working†(John 5:17)
Looking Back: Gratitude
“For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God†(2 Cor. 4:15)
-For the work God has accomplished to bring us here
…Flooding away obstacles preventing our access to the community
…Planting us deeper into Lakeview
…Pruning & disciplining us as a congregation
-For God’s favor upon us at both Monday’s hearing & our previous variance exception
-For how God has been working in our lives individually
Looking Forward: Faith
“For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’†(Rom. 1:17)
-A church that is quick to believe and slow to doubt the promises of God
-Postured with listening ears & open hearts when God speaks
-Strengthened faith when we experience trials
“For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness†(James 1:3)
-Embracing the discomfort & sacrifice that accompany acting in faith
-Faith for seasons when it seems like God isn’t working
“When reason fails, with all its powers, then faith prevails, and love adoresâ€
-Spirit to root out the seeds of unbelief within each of us
