What Are You Waiting For?

Story Time: When I first became pastor of Faith Christian Center, the latest technological device I had access to (media, computer, or otherwise) was my personal iPhone. As the church began to grow, we had more and more people who wanted to attend our Sunday Experience, but had to work on Sundays. Many of their jobs allowed them to work while listening to devices and I wanted to be able to share with them. The sanctuary cameras were older and weren’t able to connect to a live stream. All I could count on was my iPhone. Turns out, that was all I needed to get started.

I asked two of the teens at our church to help. Every time before I walked to the pulpit, I would hand one of them my phone and they would stream to Facebook while I preached. That’s how our internet media ministry started. Today, our online ministry has expanded far beyond the early days with the iPhone and we are able to minister to thousands of people across the US and around the world on a daily basis. We had to start somewhere and we had what we needed to get started.

Don’t discount what you have. Look at what you have with fresh eyes today. Is it possible that you already have what you need to get started? Those early days with the iPhone set us on a journey, enabling us to do what we do now, and preparing us for the huge expansion ahead of us. We had to start somewhere and so do you. What are you waiting for? Take a step forward in fulfilling the dream in your heart. You will be surprised at how God’s grace, ability, and provision shows up as you take a step of faith forward.

I hope today’ s blog encouraged you to take a step forward into your future. I’ll share more blogs along these lines of the next few days. I have to get back to cooking Taco Tuesday for my family. Have a wonderful evening!
