Happy Tuesday everybody!
I hope you all all had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend and that you're looking forward to a great summer.
I knew when I heard the band warming up at G8way on Sunday morning that we were in for a special day... Yep, God moves during rehearsal, too.
I really was truthful when I said that when we moved into the building in Pikeville the floor was covered in orange shag carpet and the stage wall was purple... If I'm lyin', I'm dyin'!!!
It's true that churches publicize what they prioritize... If your church is more prone to make a big deal out of things that don't really bring people closer to Jesus or take Jesus closer to people, watch out! You're in the danger zone.
I really wanna give a shout to our awesome G8way volunteers, especially in our preschool and children's areas... Many of you worked double shifts on Sunday to cover for the holiday weekend! You guys are doing an amazing job! I(your God and those kids) appreciate you much more than you know.
God is really moving in our congregation financially... You guys are bringing it obediently and proving again that our God is faithful to reward your faithfulness as you bring it back to Him. For the fifth consecutive month, our church will bring in more income than we budgeted for. And we will do that this month even after cheerfully giving away everything that we took in on Mother's Day for flood relief in Nashville, TN. On top of that, yesterday we received a special gift that will cover all of our van rental fees for our students' trip to Bigstuf in July!
Francis Chan's Forgotten God is a must-read.
Amy's mom and dad (my in-laws) are ABSOLUTELY AWESOME... It was great spending time with them this weekend!
You know sometimes I just have this premonition that God's up to doing something real big real soon at G8way Community Church. I don't know exactly what it's gonna look like, but I think it's gonna be huge, and I think a lot of it's gonna be the result of what happens this coming Sunday night!
A life without passion is no life at all. Live passionately for Jesus today!
God Bless!
