Special Note: The end of the message unfortunately was lost. Sharon began to describe a contemplative experience she had at the retreat. There was a space to sit alone and allow a song to be played in the background, while waiting on the Lord. The song was a homeless man singing, "Jesus love never failed me yet". A professional musician took the recording of the homeless man and added a gorgeous string arrangement around the solitary voice, and made it a duet with Tom Waits powerful voice. When the audio ends, click on the link below and spend some time listening to the song. Allow it to wash over you in waves, and see what the Lord speaks to you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quJjqZprGu0

We are all called to go and tell the good news, and to make disciples. Each Christian that has found hope and new life in Christ is encouraged by the stories of others who have gone out on missions, and been moved and changed through those experiences. Are you going out, or staying in the "known zone"?
Our Associate Pastor Diane Stores is in charge of our outreach and missions at Bridgewood. Rachel Chand, who we support as one of Bridgewood's missionaries gave her testimony of how God has used her and her family in Himachal Pradesh India.
Out of Hebrews, we are called to grow up in our spiritual nutrition, from milk to solid food.
Do we run from our issues, our struggles, or allow Christ to knock down those doors? Pastor Brendon addresses the value in placing Christ ahead of us, to follow him through those doors we might not walk through on our own.
