This past weekend I had the opportunity to speak together with John Trotter. Each of us speaking half of the message. The challenge wasn’t speaking with my friend, it was what we were talking about. Real stuff… We shared about how we are unable to fill the shoes of our future and that is OK. Apart from Jesus’ reign fall short in figuring out where to go, fall short in knowing how to get there, and then to top it off we fall short in accomplishing once we get there. The key is that this falling short ok when we are under His reign. Not keeping our faith in our back pocket and pulling it out when we are desperate, but letting all aspects of our yesterday, today, and tomorrow be surrendered to Him.
There is maybe nothing more humbling than realizing that I am not good enough to be complete in life. Well, maybe having some other tenants from our coffeehouse building come down to the basement to make sure everything is ok because they hear me wrestling a friend… Humbling. Besides that, it is hard to stomach falling short in any area of life. I have been focusing on those areas in the current series “Unqualified.” The reality that we need to understand is that we do fall short and that’s ok. It is ok because of our living God. He fills our given void.
Check out this week’s message as I deal with the issue of fixing people. We are incapable of truly fixing people, and that’s OK.
I have found it very easy to dismiss God’s hand in building His church. What does that really mean anyway. Are we taking that too literally or not literally enough? Jesus loves the church. He is interested in putting it together. I have no doubt of this. I do wrestle with the reality that it is possible to “screw up church.” We can. That has to be a hard one for Jesus to swallow.
This said… I am blown away by the people at Corner Church. AMAZING. How can a “random” group of people be so intriguing, interesting, talented, visionary, influential, genuine… As I continually get to know our growing church family more and more, I ask the question, do we have something unique? I am confident God is building our church. Not a building, not a system, not an organization, but people.
I guess I am feeling honored to be a part of what Jesus has, is, and will do at Corner Church.
I have a couple of questions about living the life God has for us. Sometimes seeing where something is, is more easily done by seeing where it is not…
1) Do you think we miss God’s plans for our future more often by moving to quickly or by moving to slowly?
2) Do you think we miss God’s plans for our future more often by trying to hard or by not trying hard enough?
3) Do you think we miss God’s plans for our future more often by risking to much or by not risking enough?
4) Do you think we miss God’s plans for our future more often by thinking and planning to much or by not thinking and planning enough?
5) Do you think we miss God’s plans for our future more often by talking about them to much or by not talking about them enough?
I would love your feedback. I am continuing to work on the series “Unqualified.” I am focusing on the idea that we can’t fill the shoes of our future, and that’s OK. If you have a minute, give me some feedback.
