Eric Bramlett, Matt Carter and Dave Ferguson at GCC's AND CONFERENCE 2010
I was praying this morning about our next steps - the ones that will take us into the New Normal - and I was comforted by God's reassurance: "You are not the only ones taking steps into the New Normal. You are not alone."
Pastors across America (and around the world, for that matter) are recalibrating. They're leading their churches toward missional ministries designed to connect with people attracted to long standing strategies AND people who aren't. So are we.
It's "BOTH/AND" in the New Normal. It looks different and you can help others picture it here.
We were made for this, and it's nice to know we're not alone in the new covenant. You can join the movement, and take your own steps to bring "up there down here," this weekend at any of our GCC worship experiences.
Hebrews 8:9-11 - It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord. This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
Mark,
Myself, Community Christian Church and most of our NewThing churches are in this with you! Let's continue to do this together!!
Dave
