Stepping Into a New Season
This season has truly been one to remember. Many are calling this our tent days! Days in which God has covered us, filled us, revived us, lit a fire in us, gone before us, provided for us, kept the rain away, and brought hundreds to Christ. In the past two years, we’ve seen a move of God in a parking lot. We’ve seen first hand that the church is essential, that the church is the people and not a building, and that a church alive is worth the drive! We are praising the Lord for HIS provision as we take this church into our new building. Will it be hard for some to leave the tent (parking lot) and go into the new building? Yes!!! People love the parking lot, but the building is so much better! A new season is coming, and God has raised up an army to go in and take the land. It is no accident that the new building is off Alicante (“fortified city”) and Batido (“well trodden”). The past participle of Batido is “batir,” meaning “to beat” — as in beating the odds or against all odds — and to break as in breaking a record. At any rate, we are thrilled to be stepping into this next season with complete faith that God will finish the work He has begun.
