The elder’s announced Sunday that the Northwest Church has officially paid off our mortgage and retired our debt. We are officially a debt-free church. It’s exciting to know that Romans 13:8 (our financial goal) has been met, “Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another….”
When I shared that this week with friends and pastors, more than a few said, “That’s a miracle!” When I hear those words, I tend to think through just what the word “miracle” means.
This week we are going to look at the “seven signs” in the gospel of John. These are found in the first twelve chapters of John during Jesus’ public ministry. We won’t be reading all of these texts aloud but will be revisiting each of the stories — as if we’re sharing what happened with friends.
I used to believe there was one set standard or definition for a “miracle,” but I have come to believe miracles go unnoticed all the time. Perhaps we are defining "miracle" too narrowly and too broadly all at the same time. In the meantime, it’s an amazing thing God has done since we relocated in 2016. And perhaps it really is nothing short of a miracle.
See you Sunday!
