Connection Theme for the Year

Our theme from Pastor James Leach:
"Attempt Great Things For God and Expect Great Things From God"

At the Connection Worship Center we are going to do just that. The Lord is moving us in ways we have never experienced before and sometimes we don't expect it so we miss it.

I like this from Jonathan Moore's blog,
"When the Apostles were in the storm about to sink and Jesus approached their boat walking on water, they thought He was a ghost. They thought this because they’d never seen Him walk on water prior to this. So, because they’d never seen Him in this manner before, they immediately assumed it wasn’t Him at all. The same thing happened in Luke 24 when Jesus passed through the wall after His resurrection and was suddenly in the room with the disciples. They immediately believed Him to be an intruder because they’d never seen Him walk through a wall. The point is this: As soon as you think you’ve got Jesus figured out, He’s going to do something you’ve never seen Him do. He will show up somewhere you never expected Him. And if we’re not careful, we’ll see something happening and assume it’s not Jesus simply because we’ve never seen Him manifest himself this way before. Umm, before we judge that something we’ve heard about or seen is not Jesus at all, we may want to remind ourselves that He can’t be tracked nor do we have the only formula for finding Him. He is going to use people we never dreamed He’d use and He’s going to show up in places our historical theology can’t explain."

Hopefully we don't miss it. He may not move this way again so we need to attempt great things for God and expect great things from God.
