“We Are” 
We Are not animals, We Are not merely taking up space, We Are not accidents, We Are People. However, this is complex and deep, and difficult, and We Are, forced to interact with people. This means the kind of people We Are, affects the kind of interaction WE HAVE with other people. In this three week series, we will explore the needy, the hurting, and the loving, and where you fit into this equation.

Do you ever wonder why God didn’t just kill off the Hebrew slaves that doubted his promise? The promise to deliver them into a “promise” land. He forced them to wander the desert for 40 years until the unbelievers had died and gone.

Perhaps God wanted to;

A. Make them suffer in the desert and then be deprived of entering Canna. (kind of like an, “I told you not to mess with me” kind of thing.)

B. Make good use of the barren waste land that he created.

C. Teach a younger generation the importance of pursuing the call of God to a T.

The question is, “What are we doing to teach the younger generation TODAY”?  We had better make it a priority before God uses are unfaithfulness as an example.

P.S. No one likes the Desert!

Why is it that we always have to Hurry? Is it due to lack of preparation, or merely because we feel more important if we are running from one thing to the next? Today is a day to slow down! No matter how great the task, no matter how urgent the need, lets all just slow down a bit. Slowing down does not mean, neglect work, be lazy, or give up.

Slowing down means:

1. Stop and breath, determine what needs to be done, acknowledge what won’t get done, and begin.

2. Focus on what is important, not the task, but the people. The task may help the people, but the task can not be the motive.
