One of the great things in life, relationship, leadership...heck...snow sledding down a hill!  Without it, sledding isn't so much fun...in fact, it's more like sitting! Which is entirely less fun. The same thing is true in life...it's better when you have MOMENTUM!

Last week there was this word that was released in our service...not a lot of fanfare, but it resonated with my spirit. God is giving us momentum! So what do we do with momentum? We have to be faithful...It's like God is taking a huge boulder, starting it rolling and saying now you keep it rolling! We can't start it rolling on our own, but when He does His thing...and we are faithful to do our thing...we can keep it rolling. He wants our lives to be filled with momentum, because with it...we can do things we can't do without it! God is stirring in this place (our hearts and this gathering of people) Fan the flame that God has lit...He's releasing momentum for our lives, this church, our community and our world...be faithful! Don't let up...let the Big MO (as John Maxwell calls it) carry us into our destiny!
