What now?
That question ‘What now?’ comes up quite regularly, especially when things are going from bad to worse and it seems like you can’t cut a break. I know I’ve given voice to that question out of frustration on numerous occasions. Likewise, when it comes to the twist and turns that we have to negotiate during the COVID 19 season, I have found myself saying ‘What now?’, especially when another set of restrictions or risk mitigation by-laws are instituted. I am can’t help but sigh loudly when the volumes of cleaning regulations come down the line.
The CCUC Leadership Team face the same question ‘What now?’ when we consider our future. ‘What now God?’ How do we move into the future you have for us given this disruption and redirection of what it means to be the church.

If these fruits are evident then you can be confident that Holy Spirit dwells in, and is at work through, you. In last weeks Sunday message I walked through many points of understanding about Holy Spirit. Let me share a few more thoughts on Holy Spirit that I have extracted from Ps Bill Johnson’s eCourse titled ‘Keys for Walking in the Supernatural’, as I find them helpful to keep in focus.
He shares these thoughts in light of the Jesus baptism (Luke 3:21-22) and time in the desert (Luke 4:1-4). I invite you ponder these comments and claim these truths for yourself. Continue reading “Jesus says, ‘I’ll send another just like me’”
