The Future

I have been thinking about the future over the last couple of months. I have been trying to answer the question of what does the future hold for the Edge Church. I can see in the distance where we are headed and will be sharing that both here and in church over the next couple of months. What I need help from others is how do we get where we are going. If you are going on a road trip to California, there are many routes to take. No two routes are the same. You will encounter many different places along the way. On any trip whether it is to a new place that you haven’t been before or a trip to a goal that you have in life you can take many paths. It will be up to all of us as a church to get where we are going and to map out how we are going to get there. Lisa and I are planning a trip for next year out to Colorado for her sister’s wedding. As we plan how we are going to get there we have a lot of choices ahead of us. Which roads to take, which towns to stop in? What are we going to see on the way there? We can take the fastest route or the most scenic route. What really matters is making it to the destination in the time frame. The same goes for the future of the Edge Church. We have an end point in view, but how we get there and what we do along the way is up for discussion. I ask that as each of you think about the church and the end point that we have in mind, that you pray and ask God what part he would have you play in helping us get to our destination and be willing to do what he ask of you. Just as a successful road trip needs each family member to play their part, getting to where God wants us to go will require all of our involvement.
