It has been anything but dull here at Trinity for the past several weeks. Mike Sandusky and Brian Hart have returned from their information-gathering mission trip in the Ukraine. We are on the heels of a most incredible week with the Mobile Baptist Builders who will have us chattering for years over what they accomplished in just a few days. The excitement over the new church building is escalating now that the buildings sit in front of us. As I write this, we are preparing to mobilize forty-seven youth and adults to Tijuana, Mexico for a mission trip. There is energy in the air!
As the new church building continues to progress towards completion, I cannot keep my mind off the challenges before us. What is our vision for Trinity as we seek God’s will? How will we utilize this new tool, this building, to further the kingdom of God? How can we at Trinity utilize our assets to do what God wants us to do: the building up of the saints and reaching of the lost by spreading the gospel? There’s plenty to contemplate! Are you contemplating the same questions?
Last week I had lunch with Ted Hawes, our association’s director of missions. Sensing the excitement emanating from Trinity and imagining the potential ministry in front of us, Ted likened this church to a surfer catching the perfect wave, the wave that surfers dream about but seldom, if ever, experience. We are on that "perfect" wave. Like the surfer who has caught the wave, we can carefully and skillfully ride it to its fullest offerings, or we can stumble off it and watch it go by. We pray for the perfect wave, but when it comes it’s a little daunting. We have to be ready.
Surfing is an individual sport. It is one man, one board, and the ocean. Success or failure to ride the wave out relies solely on one individual. A few weeks ago this concept was challenged. There is an annual event in Hawaii to see how many people they can get on a surfboard (a very large surfboard!) and successfully ride a wave in to shore. I can’t remember the exact number the winners had on the board, but it exceeded fifty people! Can you imagine fifty-plus individuals, whose tendency it is to ride the wave their own way, coming together for a successful ride? As I watched the news clip of the winning board, I noticed they all held on to each other, feeling the movement of the person next to them, and thus coming together in a unified motion.
How are we going to ride the wave in? God has given us "the perfect wave." Will we hold fast to Him, imitating His motion and thus working in unity? Be thinking about and contemplating the challenges before us as a church. Will you be "on board" with us? As we ride this wave to shore, please consider the following:
