It's A Matter of Perspective

This month marks the beginning of life at Community Alliance Church in New Haven, New York. Our pastor of twelve years has moved on and we are in a time of transition.

This morning's guest pastor packed a powerful, inspiring, and motivating message. He encouraged us to embrace this time of transition and seize the opportunity to select a new pastor, the one God has for us.

Our guest pastor pointed out there are organizations, churches, and businesses that wish they could go back to the transitionary phase of their development - using what they've learned through the years. So instead of grieving our loss, we move forward in anticipation of who God has for us.

Pastor Al also challenged us on a personal level. He brought to the forefront something God's placed before me a few times in the past year. Moving forward in faith, the best way to go. Are you moving forward in faith or fear?
Why?
