Trusting and knowing

In perhaps the most comforting passage in all of scripture, Jesus tells His disciples “Don’t let your hearts be troubled.” You know the passage in John 14 where Jesus continues to tell them how and why He says not to be troubled. He speaks over and over again about trusting and knowing Him. “Trust God.” “Trust me.” “Know God.” “Know me.” There is a direct correlation between knowing God and trusting God and when you add those two together…there is peace.

As most of you know by now, Christ Fellowship is going to have to move again. We got notice from our landlord that we need to be out no later than November 4th. He has lost money every month since we moved in and can’t continue to do that. We understand. And we will find another place. We have a few options right now already. We won’t be homeless. Don’t worry. Don’t let your hearts be troubled. 🙂

But as we search for and ask God to reveal His will for a new place, I would encourage you to spend more time searching inside yourself than on some real estate page online. Search yourself to see how God wants to reveal Himself to you and when He reveals Himself, we know we can trust Him because we are getting to know Him better and better.

God already knows the building we are going to move into. That’s no big deal for Him. What He wants is for us as a church to sanctify ourselves and He will do amazing things among us as it says in Joshua 3:5. Sanctify ourselves. Make ourselves holy, separate, different from the world. He knows where we will be physically as a church. That’s easy for Him. He wants us to be in the right place spiritually so He can reveal that place and so much more.

I can’t wait to see you this Sunday at Christ Fellowship! I love you all! — Todd
