Happy New Year!!!!

The thesis statement of the series is, "God's calling for each of us is to pursue the life ahead of us while using the past to reference all He has done for us."

"Life can only be understood backwards. But it must be lived forwards"

- Soren Kierkegaard -

As disciples/followers of Jesus we must answer this question:
In what direction is my life moving?

BIG IDEA:
God invites us to move forward with Him according to His will and purpose.

>>> God is on the move and the life of faith is best lived forward

For Abram, Moses, Joshua and many others in Scripture God's calling revealed that the life of faith is best lived forward.

>>> God is always speaking and our obedience facilitates living forward.

“The essential thing ‘in heaven and earth’ is … that there should be a long obedience in the same direction; there thereby results, and has always resulted in the long run, something which has made life worth living.”
(Friedrich Nietzsche

>>> God extends grace to all - through Jesus, anyone can live forward.

We remember the past, but we live life forward. We live in the present with our eye toward the future. .
