Welcome to the newest members of Adoration Church!

Our new members make vows to love God wholeheartedly and serve the church. Our pastors make vows to faithfully shepherd the members.

The atmosphere was one of great joy today- from an Adoration Kids initiated fundraiser for our South Sudan ministry to the Spirit anointed worship to the reception of new members who will make disciples in Orlando, the smile of God was felt and known today. All glory to our Mighty Savior, Jesus!

Sundays require a lot of work when you're a church plant setting up and tearing down each week. Shout out to all of our serving teams and volunteers who make it work!

We're unified in believing Jesus is worth it. Getting to worship him corporately in song, take in his Word to us, and participate in his body and blood for 2 hours on Sundays is the highlight of our week. We are desperate to see our King rightly adored!

Seasons of Waiting

Are you in a season of waiting? Waiting for a miracle in your health? Waiting for God to speak about what's next for work, life, ministry? Waiting for a strained relationship to experience peace? Waiting for a bout of depression to lift?

Pete Scazzero says that the "waiting season is almost always confusing and disorienting. The temptations are great--to fall into a pit of despair, to medicate or numb ourselves with some addictive behavior, to stop speaking with God out of anger."

But most of our biblical heroes (Hebrews 11) went through long seasons of waiting for a miracle, for a clear answer, for provision and fulfilled promise.

What we must realize is that these seasons bring us face to face with the weakness of our faith and trust in God. But in doing so, they offer an opportunity for growth and intimacy with God that seasons of comfort and peace don't provide.

Scazzero says, "Yet, it is in these confusing in-between times that God uproots our self will, strips us of layers of our false self, and frees us from unhealthy attachments. It is in these in-between seasons that we are emptied, and this emptying has one primary purpose--to make room for something new and better."

And so we must choose, knowing that while despair and self-pity may seem justified, such a posture becomes a waste of our energy and a missed opportunity. But choosing--often against what our emotions are telling us-- to throw ourselves into the rest of God (like we'd throw ourselves into a sturdy, comfortable hammock) and committing our trust to his timeline will create a deep place of transformation in us. We become more like Jesus. We grow our capacity for intimacy with our heavenly Father.

Jesus would say things like "my time has not yet fully come" (John 7:8), refusing to force his way forward as he trusted in the Father. Our Lord knows what seasons of waiting feel like and he walks with us in our own seasons of our patience being stretched.

Here's a few practical ways to find strength in a season of waiting:
1) Read and pray the Psalms of lament (22, 42, 43, 88)
2) Find trustworthy friends with whom you can process your struggle
3) Make sure you are eating healthy and exercising. The lifting of our moods through these physical practices goes a long way in tough seasons.
4) Value the "ordinary means of grace" such as the fellowship of your church community, the Sacrament and reading the Word.
5) Remember Jesus' suffering and know that he walks at your side even when things are not going great and you don't feel his presence.

Today's sermon. We hope and pray you're encouraged by this word!

Good Shepherd Sunday In this word from John 10, Fr. Cameron encourages disciples of Jesus to know him personally, expect to hear his voice, and depend on his presence in spiritual warfare.
