Transitions - Faith for New Beginnings

05/01/16 • 46 min

Change is inevitable but change is not the issue. Transition is the issue.

Change is the difference in an external situation. Transition is internal response to change. Transition is the way you process the change spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically.

The way you respond to change and navigate transition will determine how much peace you will posses in the face of change. It will determine whether or not you are “whole” in the process.

Transitions - Navigating the Neutral Zone - 04.23.16 & 04.24.16

The miraculously crossed the Red Sea and were delivered from Egypt. This was their End Zone. It marked the end of being a nation of slaves.
They spent 40 years wandering in a wilderness becoming the people God wanted them to be. This wilderness season is the neutral zone.
They eventually made their way into the promise land...marking their New Beginning.
The middle phase...the neutral zone...is probably the most significant part of transitioning properly. How you manage the neutral zone will determine whether you become bitter or better. This is the confusing, chaotic, in between state. It’s no man’s land. It’s the desert place where most people give up and throw in the towel.

In the case of the children of Israel, this wilderness/neutral zone phase takes up most of the story. Their neutral zone was 40 years of desert wandering...BUT...It was in the desert that this population of slaves became a nation strong enough to invade and conquer Canaan.

"Please" - Mother's Day 2016

There is a song that says, “It’s a man’s world”...but any man with any sense would know...if not for the influence of women in our lives and in our world...we wouldn’t be the men we are. It is true that women have been the shapers of destiny in our world and this well-known quote sums it up perfectly:

The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

Women have shaped the influence and life of the church.

We also want to honor those who face a great degree of pain in the face of this weekend’s celebrations. Some of you, both male and female, are grieving the loss of your mom’s and this weekend brings all those emotions back. There are couples here today living through a very real battle with infertility and Mother’s day and Father’s days seem to complicate those emotions...there are still others who have lost a child. It would be superficial for us to go on celebrating today and not acknowledge the courage it took for you to be at Northplace this weekend.

We honor you.
