Now What?

March 6, 2010

I slept in a couple of hours yesterday and it felt really good. Getting caught up on sleep after a busy week is nice when possible. Today, it was back to an early wake up to teach my mission class in Shepherd School.

For months we prayed along with the Student Mission Council that The Summit would not be just a conference, but the beginning of engagement in God’s mission for many people as they enter the story of God’s Kingdom. Each night during The Summit in my role as the closer, I pointed out specific ways to enter the story. Whether praying, giving, or going, there are practical steps for anyone to take.

There was a time when I thought I would take tomorrow morning (Sunday) as a time to reflect on what God has done at The Summit. However, as I looked over the passage in Nehemiah that corresponds to our series, I decided to stay the course, as the passage really does make for a nice follow up.  The Jewish inhabitants of Nehemiah’s day were rebuilding the foundations of Hebrew society and stepping up to own responsibility in God’s mission. Only two obstacles could keep them from fulfilling the mission. I’m calling this study “Two Buts and a Sure Bet.”

    I’ve loved following the Summit online through your blogs and Facebook!

    If I may make this observation, as an outsider: I wonder what the likelihood would have been that KCBT would have had these vibrant Summits, if you were still in El Salvador and someone else would have been hired in your place, way back when? Your leadership and the leadership and work of your pastoral and administrative team has helped many people at KCBT achieve their goals for the church and themselves! I’m proud of you!

    NOW…….concerning that sermon title for tomorrow: I want to hear about the Sure Bet. I already know that even one “But”, no matter how well meaning he or she intends to be, can create havoc in any situation! (Did I spell that right?) :-)
