𝐆𝐨𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠—𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬? In this message, “𝐃𝐨 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐭?”, we look at the words of Isaiah 43:18–19 and the challenge to stop dwelling in the past and recognize what God is doing right now. God is moving through the ministries and people of Victory Church Camden in countless ways. From children and youth to recovery, outreach, discipleship, worship, couples, men and women, the school, bus ministry, and more, there are people who have perceived the calling and embraced the move of God. But recognizing what God is doing isn’t enough. 𝐖𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬. 𝐖𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞. Using a memorable illustration from 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘓𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘒𝘪𝘯𝘨, this message reminds us that the past can hurt—but we don’t have to keep running from it. We can learn from it, remember who our Father is, and step into what God has called us to do. God’s calling on your life isn’t an accident. You were created with a purpose, and what God has placed inside you matters. Sometimes we miss it. Sometimes we get distracted. Sometimes we look backward. But God continues to draw us back toward what He has called us to do. Don’t spend your life watching what God is doing from the sidelines. 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭. 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐭. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐭 God is doing a new thing. 𝐃𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐭.
