When you were a child, did you know exactly what you wanted to be when you grew up? And did you turn out to be exactly that? Most of us don't -- we have detours, forks in the road, and knocks on the door of opportunity that take us down different roads. Each time we changed course, it may have felt a little strange or even scary -- but those paths often turn out to take us places more like ourselves than what we imagined we would be when we were children.
1 Corinthians tells us that "only God makes things grow". Do you feel that God has changed your path towards growth? And, for a future orientation -- Are there paths that you'd like to walk on with God to become someone or something different than you are today?
Come along and worship with us on Sunday, and consider how God can help us grow. And please stay afterwards for conversation and some refreshments.
