Meeting In Our Faith Journeys

Each week I’ve been reminding you WHY Core Values are important to us as individuals and to MCC collectively. I am the product of my values. Whatever I deem most valuable drives who I am and am becoming. The same is true of MCC collectively. MCC is the product of our values. For that reason I love what our Core Value of Journey reminds us of: Faith is a lifelong journey. We will meet people where they are, not where we wish they were, and will risk getting our hands messy to help them become a disciple of Jesus who makes disciples. None of us have our life all together. Each of us has had someone come alongside us to help us in our faith journey. And that person walked with us even when we didn’t get it right. Maybe it’s more fair to say, especially when we didn’t get it right. This week we will be reminded that through Jesus that faith is a lifelong journey. And He meets people where they are, not where He/they/we wish they were. (So we will too.) And because He will risk getting His hands messy to help them, we will follow His example so we can help people become a disciple of Jesus who walks beside others to help them become disciples. And not to belabor the point but it’s important we don’t forget: we are doing this just like someone did for us.
