Jan 9, Thoughts on Sunday
For one reason or another some Sundays just seem better than others. Thought yesterday was just one of those sweet times of worship:
* While sitting in my chair early Sunday morning I could hear the rain pouring down. Was thinking, "seriously God, no parking lot and its pouring down the rain?" Today will suck.
* Nothing could be further from the truth.
* Volunteers were doing their thing in a special way. Love and appreciate you guys so much.
* Band was cranking it up during rehearsal.
* Going over my notes felt like God wanted to do something special.
* We changed up the order of service. Sung two songs and then I began message.
* Started our newest series, "Shocking statements of Jesus Christ" and Jesus said some shocking stuff.
* Focused on John 6 Sunday morning.
* Christ told the people they must eat his flesh and drink his blood.
* 3 main points to the message:
1. The masses followed
2. Many left
3. Only a few radicals remained
* The ones who remained we're those who we're sold out to Jesus, everyone else left because they couldn't handle this shocking statement of Jesus Christ.
* Same remains true today for many people. Willing to follow Jesus long as everything is free(Jesus had just fed the 5,000) but once something is expected many will leave.
* GREAT NEWS, several people stood and accepted Christ. Tha flat jacks me up.
* Many admitted they weren't where they needed to be in their walk with Christ.
* The Lords Supper was sweet to me for several reasons:
a. followed a special teaching on it
b. different than any we've ever done
c. worship before hand was incredible
d. people were really into message and worship which allowed the Lords Supper to be extremely sweet
* Personally, I enjoyed worship at end of message instead of beginning.
* Numbers still down some since we left parking lot but that probably won't change until we have parking lot.
* Had several guest in the house. Always like that.
* Really excited about this series.
* Kid Zone was rocking. Wish I would of grew up in church like that.
* Jacob (my 13 year old) said youth was really good last night also. I didn't go, was at home cheering on my here Tim Tebo. :)
* Great day for 5 Point.
Some other thoughts:
* If you signed up to pray walk at the building please remember to do so. I'm praying for you.
* Wednesday night is New Members class.
* Looking forward to watching National Championship game tonight.
* Really proud of the people who have begun to work out for the new year. Just wish they would hurry up and get it out of their system, crowded at Y. Happens every January.
