An Innovative House

Steven Richards

If there is one constant in the church, it is change. We often encourage people to be flexible, because only then can we adapt to the new from God.

Sometimes we can fall into the trap of believing that we have already seen everything that God wants to do in our lives. But this is not the case. Every day we have new and greater opportunities to grow. Part of that growth comes hand in hand with our commitment. Your commitment makes The Church flourish.

Leaving behind the old can be difficult, because many times it represents what's comfortable, or the place of what's known. But if we hold onto that, there will be no room for God to pour out His new wine over us. We don't cling to a method or a structure, but to the eternally relevant message of Jesus.

Maybe today you can't see your growth, but know this: if there is still air in your lungs, God is not finished with you. He is still writing a new chapter in your life, and what he begins, he finishes.

"I'm going to do something new! It's already happening, don't you see? I'm making a path in the desert, and rivers in the wilderness."
