This Sunday in our Contemporary Service (8:30am) we're going to be talking about going out into the deep with God.
There's a tendency sometimes to snorkel, when God is calling us to scuba-dive. Snorkeling, is nice, not to mention safe. But there's so much more in the deep to be explored...
When we get out into the deep, there is peace, there is quiet, and there are unfathomable wonders. The deep is the dwelling place of God.
Too often, I think we fear the deep, because it is hidden, mysterious, full of the unknown. It can feel dangerous.
But there's really great news. God doesn't send us to venture out into the deep alone...He's already there waiting for us. His arms are loving and open waiting to catch us and take us to the awesome places He has for us...
1 Corinthians 2:7, 9, 10 - We speak of God's secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God has destined for our glory before time began...it is written
"No eye has seen,
No ear has heard,
No mind has conceived
What God has prepared for those who love Him."
But God has revealed it to us by His Spirit.
What God has prepared for us doesn't hold a candle to the shallow life!
