Move

Part 1| “The Movement God Wants”

The empty grave changes everything. The empty grave empowers transformation. The empty grave means your life does not have to stay the same. And that’s good news, because, one way or another, your life will never be the way it is right now. You can embrace that or you can fear it. The choice is yours. The simple fact that you cannot stay where you are is a fact of life we try to avoid until its inevitable reality catches us off guard. Then we are asking, “What happened to the good ole’ days?” or “Why is life suddenly so complicated?” Embrace the perspective God wants you to have. Change with the enablement that comes from God. You can move forward into the purposes He has planned for you. Let’s move!
