Till Deeper Life Conference

6:30pm --- Sun, May 20 – Tues, May 22

By this you shall know

that among you is

the living God.

Joshua 3:10

As Israel was about to enter the Promised Land, God told them – in advance – that he would give them a sign. By parting the Jordan River and allowing for their safe passage, God wanted them to know that he was absolutely and powerfully in their midst. Why? Because soon he was going to ask them to do some hard things. He was going to ask them to do battle. He was going to compel them to wrench the territory away from their enemies.

When the angel of the Lord appear to shepherds in the wilderness, God promised them a sign too. Their task wasn’t hard – go to Bethlehem and look for a baby in a cattle trough – nevertheless, he wanted them to know that he was absolutely and powerfully in their midst.

Have you ever faced a difficult challenge? Have you ever wanted ironclad proof before believing something strange or wonderful? Have you ever asked for a sign?

Today I want to remind you that our Deeper Life Conference is starting this coming Sunday evening! The goal is to help us hear – literally hear – from God.

Maybe this event is your sign. God wants to move more fully in your life. The barrier, however, is you … and me. We stand in our own way.

In our announcements last Sunday, the speaker said, “We’ll gladly devote a few nights a week to American Idol … or to sports practice … or the nightly news … or a favorite hobby. This week, why not devote two or three evenings to God. He wants to show that he is absolutely and powerfully in your midst!

In Christ’s Love,

a guy who’ll see you there
