Looking Forward Together

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." We love to quote that verse — but notice what kind of light it actually promises. Not a floodlight. Not high beams. A lamp, in the ancient world, was a small clay dish of oil that lit the ground about two steps ahead of you. That's it. That's the promise. Nobody who gathered in 1966 could see 2026 from where they stood — no sixty-year floodlight, no master plan unrolled on the table. They just took the next faithful step, and then the next, and God kept lighting two steps ahead, and here we are.

After last week's big celebration, this Sunday the anniversary gets personal — because sixty years of church is made of nothing but ordinary people taking one next step: the person who finally walked in the door, the one who joined the group, the one who said yes to serving, the one who came back after years away.

Our own discipleship plan says choosing to become more like Jesus is "the first step of a disciple" — which means the life of faith isn't a destination you arrive at; it's a walk with a lamp. So the question this week isn't "what's the twenty-year plan for your soul?" It's smaller, kinder, and more demanding: what's the next step the lamp is lighting for you? Take that one. The path is built two steps at a time.
