As I write this it is Sunday morning, just before the launch of Christian Faith Center (CFC) Middleton. I have been remembering the promises of God for the City of Middleton. Promises given when New Beginnings was planted in the 1990’s and continued through The Way from 2010 to 2023.
The vision of The Way was to be a church of grace built on the foundation of Christ Jesus. The vision of CFC Middleton is to love people to life in Christ Jesus.
Last Sunday evening at the final Pre-Launch service for CFC Middleton, I was sitting staring at the carpet tiles as Pastor Jordan Hodges spoke. He said something that immediately stirred my spirit. He said, “What God has promised must be stepped into by faith.”
Not long after The Way purchased that log cabin building, we pulled up the old, stained carpet and put down new carpet tiles. CFC Middleton recently pulled up those carpet tiles as the building was being updated, but then put them back down in the now refurbished building.
As I stared at those carpet tiles, God spoke a word into my heart. The Way stepped into God’s promises for Middleton and laid a foundation on the Gospel of Christ Jesus in that place. We placed our feet (and knees) on those carpet tiles and declared it consecrated ground.
Now others were putting their feet (and knees) on those same carpet tiles and loving Middleton to life.
God’s promises were going forward.
It doesn’t matter what the name is on the sign outside the building. It matters that God never fails, His Word is true, His promises will come to pass.
