A Marker

Throughout the process of Yahweh taking His people into the ‘promised land’ we see God continually instructing them to set up markers to remind them of their journey & His provisions. One such account is given in Joshua 4:8—10; 19—24 where Joshua was commanded to build a stone monument to mark God’s faithfulness in leading them. God was building a people, a history, a trust, and a force/movement.

From this pattern we gain a pattern for our own lives as a church—we should set up markers to let us know how we’re doing on the course of fulfilling the great commission we’ve received. As we approach another Friends Sunday I’d like for us to keep a marker in mind. This year we will put all of our energy in setting a new marker—having 350 or more people attend our service.
This would clearly be the largest number of people we have ever had attend a Friends Sunday at Grace!

Are you up for the challenge? To achieve this goal we will need everyone of us inviting someone who is either committed to the Lord or to a church.
