How many of
you have seen the Star Trek TV series?
When Mike and I began dating, I learned that he was a Star Trek fan so
we watched the TV series quite often after the evening news. I can still see our older son, John, when he
was 1 1/2 -2 years old, standing in front of the TV as the series came on. He was mesmerized by the picture of the
Enterprise ship coming into view and the following opening words:
“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the
starship Enterprise. Her five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to
seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone
before.”
When I was
on the way to work one morning, God gave me those last words, and all I heard
was "Boldly Go Where You Have Never
Been Before". Not the exact
words from Star Trek, which said boldly
go where no man has gone before.
Instead God said "
Boldly Go Where You Have Never Been Before". This was a break-through for me. It was what I had been waiting for in order
to know more exactly what God is trying to teach me through this message, and so
this is the title of my message today - Boldly
Go Where You Have Never Been Before
