New Wineskins

How have you changed recently?  (Like in 2009 recently…)  Are your systems, content, or methods changed to meet to increasing demands of God’s vision in your life?  I have been overwhelmed by new opportunities these last 2 weeks to consider the wineskins  that have adequately held God’s vision & provision for me for a long time.  You know what?!?  It’s time for change, and God has tremendously blessed our Groups team with a new addition in Alan Danielson.  Alan and I are partnering together to envision new wineskins for how God is shaping our Connect, Grow, Serve process for 2009 and beyond.

As if that is not enough to bring home His message to me…My wife is looking for a new house.  I guess change is inevitable…and a predictable part of the Christian life.  I’m learning to be comfortable being uncomfortable & trusting God for new wine…knowing that it means new wineskins.

Are you seeking new wine?  If so, are you creating new wineskins as well?
