Transition – Change Management

We live in a world today that is constantly changing. Many people are not on the forefront of this change. Even fewer Churches and Ministries are on the forefront of this change. It is more likely that change is dragging people and organisations by the proverbial nose ring. Solomon said that there is a season for everything under the sun. Isaiah put it this way.

Isaiah 43:19-21 MSG
(19) Be alert, be present. I’m about to do something brand-new. It’s bursting out! Don’t you see it? There it is! I’m making a road through the desert, rivers in the badlands.
(20) Wild animals will say ‘Thank you!’ –the coyotes and the buzzards– Because I provided water in the desert, rivers through the sun-baked earth, Drinking water for the people I chose,
(21) the people I made especially for myself, a people custom-made to praise me.

I believe we are at a critical time in history. Change is happening more and more rapidly. In fact, I was able to visit one of the top research facilities in the world last week. There are significant technological advances that will severely change the way we live our lives, conduct our business and access or world.

In this series, we will examine how changes affected people in the Bible. We will look at how David, Solomon, Daniel, Joseph and many others dealt with changes in their lives and what the results of those changes were. There will be 10 parts in this series – this introduction and nine others. We will examine each of them over the next nine days.
