Let the games begin! The Olympics are in full swing and I'm sure you've enjoyed curling or the half-pipe or the figure skating... Maybe something. I'm always amazed at how Olympic athlete's can move. Their agility, flexibility and stability greatly enhance their ability to move. And the motions are art. I wish I could move just a fraction as well.
We're all fascinated by motion. We may not like moving ourselves. But we appreciate things that move. Good athletes. Blockbuster movies. College classes. Stuff that doesn't move tends to bore us to tears. Yet what if in this thirst for movement, we are always looking for what's next?
Here's what I mean. It seems like in my thirst for movement, I'm always waiting for something to happen. When I get my driver's license, then I can _____. When I graduate from high school then I can ______. When I get a career, find the guy/girl, move to the right city... The beauty of motion can turn into a perpetual thirst for more.
At Elevate this month we'll look at how eternal life starts now. How God's plan is not just about life after death, but about movement here and now. But unlike the unsatisfying motions of a disqualified athlete, God calls us to motions that satisfy now and last into eternity.
Come experience Jesus and the art of moving for Him.
