Our theme this year is Step into 2024. The big idea is movement. All change – all growth is the result of taking some kind of action. Whether it’s getting a job, going on a date, becoming a social media influencer, finding freedom from an addiction – all require stepping up, or stepping out.
We began 2024 by stepping in – into God’s story, through our virtual Bible reading groups. Why is reading the Scripture so essential? Sure, it is the primary way God speaks to us. But more than that, it is an invitation to step into God’s story.
“If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross daily, and follow me.” (Jesus, Luke 9:23)
Of course, the poster child for stepping up and out is Peter. Hey, if you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat. With an election year ahead, and the Lord’s return more imminent than ever, this is not time to be singing “row, row, row your boat”.
Step up – take a risk and serve. Step into community – find your people. Step out – reach beyond your comfort level. I’ll see you “on the Sound”
Nicholas
