GLC Retreat

I just got back from a weekend retreat with my church (http://gracelifechurch.com) where we talked a lot about upcoming church plants in Columbia and Canton/Fells Point, where I plan to serve on a core leadership group. Stay tuned, this is going to be big. Info from the horse's mouth is here (http://gracelifenetwork.blogspot.com).

The church leaders encouraged us to think through the continuum of Adam and Eve through the blessings promised to Abraham, the courage and faith of Isaac and Jacob, the Joshua generation and conquer of Jericho, through Christ and the seamless connection with believers today. The same promises God made to Abraham apply to us. We need to have faith in the Person of God more so than the words of any promises, recognizing that good will come as we follow God in relationship with Him. Moreover, we need courage more than more faith; we have faith, but often don't act on it. We need to pray for the courage to live out the faith we have.
