Life Change

Sunday was a great day as we kicked off Urban Legends. The big thing I want to highlight right away was the incredible response we had about turning your life over to Christ. Wow! I lost count somewhere around 30! You knew the Holy Spirit was at work in a big way. It’s why we do what we do…to lead people to Jesus…to redefine church to people who have given up. I am praying for those of you who made some landmark spiritual decisions in your life.

Some other highlights...Nice job with the video guys. People were having fun at church…I love it! The music all fit great. Our Urban Legend of “God wants me to be happy” stirred up some stuff…some controversy. That’s a good thing. People are thinking and being challenged.

I really didn’t say much about this but this was such a timely subject for me. I have had a lot of questions for God over the past year. In some ways it has been a “grind” like never before. I wondered if I was missing something or doing something wrong at times. Sunday helped me frame this past year in such a different context. God is taking me deeper as I experience some difficult challenges. I am discovering a new side (to me) of God that I would not see otherwise. He is teaching me about myself and building endurance in my life. I am blessed even in the midst of some storms in my life. I believe God enjoys when we are happy just as I enjoy my kids being happy. This past Sunday put a smile on God’s face 5 miles wide!
