Lately, I’ve been listening to the song below a lot because it reminds me of a favorite thought about God, “creatio ex nihilo” or “created out of nothing.” I think it’s a favorite thought of mine because I relate so well to it. Here’s a link to a blog I wrote a couple years ago concerning this thought: creatio ex nihilo.
Artist: Gungor
Song: Beautiful Things
It’s been a busy but refreshing last couple of weeks. Last weekend, I had the opportunity to lead worship at our church. This weekend, I had the opportunity to preach…to adults. If you would have asked me a year ago if I’d be preaching to adults…I would have said, “I don’t even know if I want to go back into ministry.”
It’s hard to believe that I’ve been out of “professional” ministry for close to a year to the date. I find myself questioning a lot of things. Is it ironic that after six years going full-throttle in ministry that I’ve spent this last year (my seventh year) unemployed and finding rest and recovery in acts of pure service to different churches? Maybe it’s a sabbatical or jubilee that God has provided? I understand that it’s possible I’m reading into everything. But it’s also possible that God, in His sovereignty, could be preparing me for something. I’m not sure what God has in store. Only time will tell. I trust that God will continue providing clarity.
Below is my message from the weekend. It was for a series called, “Life Happens.” We’re going through the book of Philippians. My main text was Philippians 4:4-7. Also, I heavily used the movie, Stranger Than Fiction as an illustration.
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to lead worship at Grace Ann Arbor again. Julie (my wife) was able to sing with me this time, which was an added bonus. The videographer is just a tripod in the back of the room and the camera is just a flip. So no fancy camera work but you can hear the room filled with worship!
