The church will stand when life is falling apart

Monday’s Message

Sometimes life can send us running like wild horses with no direction. But there is a way to stay grounded
Thanks so much for joining us for Monday’s Message with Abigail Rice and Trench Classes United. Have you ever needed to run for shelter, or just wanted a safe place to “be,” away from the chaos of life? That’s what the church is to be for each of us, a place to learn how to live in this life. Enjoy the word pictures that Abigail’s poem creates.
 
As a cool breeze kisses my face
How I long to see your face
Your gentle kicks
Your small nudges
Leading me to want this
To desire a life well spent
A journey fully lived
To leave behind more than a steeple
But a church of seeds
Planted
Lethal
A weapon well forged
Beyond that of a sword
But words that speak truth
and visions that hold us together
Stronger than glue
We run wild
Rampant
and Loose
Like a horse that has escaped its noose
Because it is You, oh Lord, that we wake up and choose
Like the moon in the sky
As it refuses to hide
No matter the day
No matter the time
We are your people
And we are more than a steeple
What we leave behind
In Your name
Let it guide
For these moments will go by
As the sun continues to rise
So as long as You are by our side
We will not lose
Even though our mortal bodies will soon subside
For You we will battle
For You we will die
Let this be our calling
To bring your people
At Your time
