Now What? Learning the Ways God (The Capstone Experience)

Often when we’re turning to God with the question, “Now What?” it’s in response to some calamity or challenge. Our world falls apart, we get bad news, we’re faced with a difficult situation, a disagreement, a conflict, another troubling headline…we’re not sure what to do, so we turn to God and say, “Now What?” But there’s another way to approach the question, “Now what?” Instead of holding the broken pieces of our lives in a desparte, exasperated, “Now what?” we might also be in a place to look towards the future and be open to new possibilities. “What do you have for me, Lord? What are you calling me into? What’s next?” It’s the same question, “Now what?” but asked with a tone of curiosity and hope, with faith that God is moving and inviting us to participate with God in the renewal of all things.  On this particular Sunday, instead of another sermon, we shared in an experiential gathering, practicing learning the ways of God together.
