Inspection

In the next 24 to 48 hrs we hope to have our "final" inspection done so that we can move Journey in for Sunday the April 18th. It's strange that we have done all this work, we have followed all the requirements, had countless volunteers and professionals work so hard and yet.... we still must wait on another to approve us.

Our fate for this weekend ultimately lays in the hands of a man.
A employee of the city and county.

Placing your trust in another can be really tough.... especially after pouring so much of yourself out in the process. Yet, placing your trust in another can be big step of faith and growth. As we wait on this inspector to actually come through the building, we are praying and praying for all things to pass and go well. This inspection process has actually helped us cry out to God even more and build our faith.

So I encourage you to join us as we pray for this important inspector and our human efforts.

Good Friday

"And the sky was as black as night"

This afternoon we had one heck of a rain storm roll through Rochester.
It git really dark, the winds picked up and the rain came pounding down for a while.
I was intense.

Over 2,000 years ago it was a black as night at 3 p.m.
Just as Jesus stated, "IT IS FINISHED" Not only did the sky change... everything changed. Our freedom from sin, death and eternal separation from God changed. All because of one perfect man dying a brutal death on a cross.

I wonder how dark it really was.
How dark did it get before there was really a fresh new light?

It's always darkest before the dawn.", the old saying goes.
Remember Good Friday and how dark it got, and prepare yourself for a new amazing dawn called Resurrection Sunday or Easter.
