The Wall!

This last week was a good on in the Zone as we kicked off a new quarter study on "God's Wall of Protection"! In Bible times a wall was so important to the safety and security of the people, while they may have ventured outside the walls to do business or farm or even live when times of trouble came everyone headed inside the walls!

We all have them don't we? Walls I mean? Things that we go to, hide behind and look to for comfort and security? God wanted His protection to be His peoples first option and not the walls made of stone and brick to be their savior. And how funny it is when we do see, as in the case of Jericho, a people secure in their walls "they" built and trusted in how mighty our God is to bring them down...and with only a trumpet blast and shouts!

We can build a wall of protection in God and we are going to take about 13 weeks to talk about that and we kicked it off by talking about the first stone in our wall of protection we have in the Lord this last week...the stone of God's sovereignty! We talked about how God is in charge and what a comfort that is, should be, to all of us! This week we will be in our large group a bit longer than normal as I have a meeting scheduled with our mentors to talk about how we can better serve the kids God is continuing to bless us with! While we meet the kids will be lead from the front in large group and sing and praise our great God and talk about the subject of faith! We need to recognize our God is in control then next be willing to trust in that and know that "in all things, God works for the good to those who love Him." It will be an awesome week, we will (of course) have a blast and I look forward to seeing you all there!
