Finding God In Surprising Ways

1 Corinthians 2:9-16

9 However, as it is written:

“What no eye has seen,
    what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived”—
    the things God has prepared for those who love him—

10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spiritwithin them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments,

16 for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord
    so as to instruct him?”

But we have the mind of Christ.

Finding God In Surprising Ways

Greetings NewDay friends,

This Sunday, I've been asked to present how I've been experiencing God recently. I LITERALLY don't know how the pandemic has been going for all of you, but I know it's taken me for a ride. I certainly know that my life has been fused to the rises and falls of COVID-19 infection rates and I've had to remove myself from so many of the things I'd depended on to give me life, renewal, support, and hope. This Sunday, I'll use my little slice of life to explore how I've experienced the need to connect to God in new ways when all of my familiar connections with him and his people have been blocked. This Sunday, I hope we'll all see how much we've grown, apart and together, while we've navigated grief, separation, uncertainty, and above all else, sought the face of God in our times of transition.

I'll look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday.

Peace,
Zach Lovig
