The history of the church is one of God using unlikely people to proclaim an unlikely message that changes lives and the world. What God calls us to will almost always make us feel small and weak. We find God’s power to do and accomplish what we never could by looking to the Holy Spirit he has given to us. The Holy Spirit has been transforming people’s lives and using the most unlikely people to further the gospel throughout all of church history. We find the power we so desperately lack in Him.

1 Corinthians 2:1-16

Kyle Kauffman

The Church has always been given a mission because our God is a God on a mission. To live with a mission is to live with a purpose or goal. This is a purpose that can guide our way through life’s transitions. We have been given a mission… make disciples. This is not a mission for pastors only, for missionaries only, or for mature Christians only. This mission is for every single Christian.

Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:6-11

Kyle Kauffman

Have we been transferred into God’s kingdom? This is the one transition that matters more than anything else in our lives. And this is the transition that then shapes every other transition in our lives. The God who saves us by his grace is the God who continues to shape and mold us by his grace. And we look forward to the day when we will see him face-to-face.

Isaiah 40:1-11

Kyle Kauffman

Transitions have a danger of engraining in us a deeper sense of self-sufficiency. But transitions should make us realize our own neediness. We are people who constantly depend on God to be gracious to us, take care of us, and provide us with all that we need. We believe the church, and all its people, grows and moves forward because he is at work in us. And as a result, we should be constantly calling out to him for help.

1 Kings 3:1-15; 1 Kings 10:8-9

Kyle Kauffman

Out transitions are put into a right perspective when we see God as we should. Transitions can bring questions, concerns, and uncertainty. In the midst of all the transitions and changes of our lives we find peace, clarity, and purpose as we look to our God and remind ourselves of who He is.

Exodus 3:1-15
