A Message From Pastor Steve
What Is Your Next Step?
Last Sunday, we were reminded that Paul said, “For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago” (Ephesians 2:10). We are a masterpiece in the making. And not just any masterpiece. His masterpiece. By His grace He is transforming us from what we used to be to who He made us to be.
The path of transformation in our life will always involve next steps of obedience by faith. Because “without faith it is impossible to please God” (Hebrews 11:6). We had the incredible joy of seeing 58 people take a next step of faith by publicly declaring their desire to follow Jesus through baptism last Sunday!!! It was an exciting and moving day!
What next step do you need to take in your journey with Jesus? Next steps of obedience call us out of our comfort zone inviting us to experience more of Jesus and His abundance for the life and dreams He has for us. But you have to take the next step!
You may need to declare your faith in Christ. Pursue Christ daily in chair time. Join a small group. Lead a small group, or step out and serve the body of Christ somewhere. Maybe you need to forgive someone who has hurt you or apologize to someone you’ve hurt. God might be calling you to a new vocation, inviting you to serve your neighbor or give generously to a cause. God is ready to bless you, but He won’t take the next step for you. What are you waiting for? I believe God’s best for you is on the other side of your next step.
This Sunday we conclude our life-changing series WE BELIEVE. It’s going to be a BIG DAY that could change your life! Bring a friend, co-worker, or family member with you. God is moving and changing lives! I can’t wait to be in His presence with you this weekend at TrueNorth!
Have a great week!
