Like Holding Water In Your Hands

Well, today was the last day at New Hope for our worship leader. He came to us three years ago with no experience, just a call, and over that time, he and we grew a lot. The expectations now are much higher.

New Hope isn't just a job, and I'm not looking for someone who wants one. I want to find a person who loves what we are trying to do and wants to dive in. We're nontraditional in the extreme - we dress casual, we sing newer music, but we preach through the Bible and are deadly serious about making disciples - not just converts.

We're at odds with most of our SBC brethren in a lot of ways, and not nearly cool enough to be considered a "contemporary" church (whatever that means). So to find someone who can afford to live here, who has the skills to do the job, and who buys into the New Hope vision...

Means we have to depend on God... again.

Just as we did three years ago.

Stay tuned.
