The beauty is in the story.

Thursday brought with it Belfast Bible College's retreat.  We headed to the beautiful coast to enjoy each other's company and wait on the Lord.


It was a rich time of fellowship through eating together, worship time and midnight walks.  The teaching over the two days was different; a fresh perspective on both the gospel and life at BBC. We were reminded of the profound way in which Jesus spoke through silence, then focused on his use of stories to communicate.  Each story being a journey to be experienced rather than a dispensable  means to a moral.  This is both transforming of how we view Jesus' parables and applicable to the testimonies of our lives.  The beauty lies in the story; in the being, in the flaws, in the journey.  We can not extract the good and forget the very path that strengthened us.


Let us find freedom in his grace and fall into his beauty! I give thanks for the richness and potential of the community at BBC.
