HTDO: The Church

June 1, 2010

We are currently in a series at Revolution Church called Hills to Die On where we are looking at the non-negotiables of the faith. These are closed handed issues – not up for discussion. There are plenty of open handed issues, but these are not among them. If something is worth living for – it’s worth dying for!

Here is week 5 dealing with the Church:

Don’t miss the journey!

I tweeted this the other day: “I’m excited about the future. But I’m excited about today too. Don’t miss the journey!”

I began thinking about Abraham and this encounter he had with God when the world was only 11 chapters old:

Genesis 12:1-2

Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.

Here’s two quick thoughts.

#1 - God absolutely kept his promise to Abraham. He delivered on his end in a BIG way! Ultimately, we have Jesus coming through this lineage God promised Abraham.

#2 – Abraham never arrived at the destination God promised…for him, it was all about the journey. He caught glimpses like birthing a child in his old age, but his was a walk of faith planting seeds that would not germinate for years – and some for centuries – to come.

It is so easy to focus on where we are going that we miss the beautiful nuances contained within the journey. Conversely, we can be so bogged down in the temporary pain or difficulty of the moment that we forget God always keeps his promises. He has promised to ultimately work all things out for good for his children.

This is one of those posts that has many applications. I hope it gives you some encouragement today!

To Revolution Church, I just want to remind us all that while there is always more to come…I am honored to serve with you and to make the most of every moment we have on this journey together.
