November 2025 – The Balance of Transition
Israel cried out to God in their captivity. The Lord heard their cry, and He sent a deliverer (Moses). From the moment their transition began there was frustration, complaints, hardships, distrust and challenges. We too, cry out to God! We cry out for God to move in a profound way. We cry out for revival. We cry out to see lost souls saved. We cry out for a harvest. In all this, one of the things we rarely understand is that with every prayer, transition must take place in order to see the fulfillment of those prayers. It’s something that’s not easy to grasp because it’s new territory.
As a church, any church, there must be transition if God is moving and if God is working, and with that transition comes challenges. Transition will define a church. It will cause a church to look deeper within herself to understand who we are. The transition itself will define where we are going, so it’s very important that we embrace the challenges of transition. It’s very important that we realize that transition is usually the answer of a cry to the Lord.
Every church will experience multiple transitions throughout their lifetime, and PCC is no different. We are in a transitional phase and with that transition will come challenges, but God would not allow the transition if He didn’t know for certainty that we are up to meeting the challenges ahead. The other side of the challenges of transition is beautiful. It’s not something we’ve laid our eyes on, but when we do we’ll be so thankful that we journeyed the transition. I’m going to challenge you over and over again over the next 12 months to embrace the transition and change that comes with it. God has heard our prayer. He’s heard our cry, and He is answering. We need to embrace the challenges that come with transition, realizing that there is a promise that is being fulfilled with every step that we take.
