The week leading up to a big SBC conference is always an exciting one. Final preparations are being made, things are beginning to take shape, and the level of expectation amongst those attending seems to dramatically increase. This week which ends with many from SBC attending the Spring Conference is no different.
However, before we get to the Hayes Christian Centre, in fact before we have even packed a bag for the weekend, it is important that we prepare ourselves for the weekend ahead. It is not that in anyway this weekend is ‘better’ than others, but there is something significant that happens when collectively we set so much time aside for God.
Although to some extent we have planned the sessions, prepared some worship and put loads of time and effort in to make the Conference as good as possible, we really can’t know what God is going to do and what journey we are going to take together.
As we prepare to dedicate so much time to being with each other and with God, let’s prepare ourselves by making sure our focus is on Him, creating space in our hearts for Him to minister, and allowing Him to already be speaking to us.
I pray that you have a great week, that God continues to stir your heart to go to new depths over the coming weekend, and that you arrive on Friday evening ready to get straight in. Travel safely and I will see you there.

“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the LORD Almighty.” – Malachi 3:1
I am sure that the Lord will honour those who seek His face and He will share with us many exciting things as well as growing as a family and learning how to walk as one IN HIM!
