Our Summer Journey

Summer is here! One of the things I love best about summer is vacations and road trips. Exciting adventures were a part of my childhood, as my family traveled the country during our annual summer vacation. I often served as the navigator on these vacations and learned to read and rely on the road signs so that we would arrive at the right destination, and we would be able to have some fun on the way.

This summer, our church has begun it’s own “road trip.” We are journeying through the book of 2 Corinthians. And, as we journey, the road signs are a very important part of the journey.

Yet, in our journey, we are learning to be the road signs. We are learning to be road signs that help to point back to God. We are learning what it means to help others see and travel on the journey of faith.

As we read 2 Corinthians, we discover that Paul over and over uses his life and ministry to point back to God. Everything that he does is not for his own glory, but for the glory of God. He writes, “for we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. For it is God who said, ‘Let your light shine out of darkness,’ who has shown in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”
(2 Corinthians 4:5-6)

Please join us this summer as we journey together, learning what it means to be a signpost pointing to God.
