Announcing the Great Mystereo, Mystic to the Masses!


“If you don’t do what I want, I’m going to doubt you exist.
Wayne Jacobsen

How many times have you heard of someone losing faith because of the lack of a performing God? I know this is a tender subject but I would be remiss if I did not make a statement of the obvious. There have been times when people have demanded answers.

“Where was your God when the shooter killed my child?”

“I prayed for relief from the pain, a cure for my ailment but He did not answer.”

God is not a sideshow mystic performing parlour tricks for the masses. God is the Creator of all things, the Alpha and Omega. He loves us so much that He sacrificed His Son for every one of us and yet so many want, demand even, proof that He is real. If the answer does not fit the parameters of what society wants to understand, then society will doubt His existence. To rely on self then becomes the norm and to question God’s love for us is an easy escape. As I read further into the article, something made me stop to ponder – “To be won into trusting him, we have to be willing to be won.” Jacobsen.

God is not a magician and does not do parlour tricks. God is all about what is in our best interest and we need to trust in His wisdom even though we may not understand. So, with that said, we must be willing to be won, give over to His guidance and trust in His judgement. Trust in our Creator because He is not out to judge the world but to save us from ourselves.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Prov. 3:5-6

Be willing to let God win your heart, trust in Him as if your life depended on it and let Him lead your way.

Our service this Sunday is a bit different, as we will be combining the service with our AGM. Join us if you can at 10:30 MST on Sunday or you can watch us live online on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MainAvenueFellowship/) or view it afterwards on our website (www.mainavefellowship.blogspot.ca).

Blessings
Pastor Todd
