The Return to Antioch in Syria
After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, then on to Iconium and Antioch. There they strengthened the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue in the faith, saying, “It is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God.” And after they had appointed elders for them in each church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe.
Moving on...
The hard part of the journey
Moving on...
Leaving it all behind
Moving on...
Putting faith in God and others.
The work of moving on
begins at the beginning
preparing others
equipping them
handing on
the tools to continue
before getting out of the way
and letting them do it.
And what if they get it wrong?
What if they change things?
What if there are difficulties?
Moving on
requires trust
and confidence in others
and in the God of grace and love
who is there in the beginning
and will be til the end.
Journeying in faith
is a journey of moving on.
