Not Everyone Makes It Over

Not everyone makes it over.

Some prefer the safety of the familiar—Rueben, Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh chose to live on the East side of the Jordan rather than crossing over into the Promised Land.

Some want to go back.

Some find a new direction and go that way.

The point is—not everyone makes it over.

This happens in church life too.

We’re not where we used to be and we haven’t arrived… we’re somewhere in between.

We’re in this place of the “crossover.”

The crossover speaks of moving forward, advancing, following God and reaching out for what’s ahead.

It’s a place of adventure and new experiences.

And, not everyone makes it over.

Some prefer the safety of the familiar.

Some want to go back.

Some find a new direction and go that way.

At our church, we believe “There’s Grace For That.”

When Christians go from one church to another, they’re still Christians. And breaking ties with one local church doesn’t mean breaking ties with the Savior.

From a Kingdom perspective, it’s not a loss. We’re all still part of the same big Kingdom.

Of course we’re excited about what God is doing here in this place.

We believe our greatest days are still before us.

We want everyone to join us on the journey…

Yet we know, not everyone makes it over.

And we’re OK with that.
