Sunday Thoughts on this morning and this coming week
October 28th, 2007 Posted in Church at the Grove, Community, CultureThis morning was an incredible gathering! David and the Band did an incredible job. Thank you guys. If was our final week of the SHADOWS series and our desire was to end it with a very clear communication of the gospel of Jesus.
- We had a number of people that responded to Jesus for the first time with their lives. It was absolutely awesome and reminds me of why we should be doing what we are doing.
- My wife and I came back from a time of ‘getaway’ with one another in the North GA Mtns. We had a blast. I will share a little more in detail with pictures of our trip. I am refreshed and ready to go.
- I am sitting here watching the Red Sox potentially defeat the Rockies in 4 games for the World Series Title. I hope that the Rockies make a game of and they won’t have to end in four games but rather take the series to at least 6 games!
- Speaking of “making a game of it”! Did the Georgia DAWGS make a game of it or what against Florida?! They took it toooo the gators and didn’t let up one bit. Mild mannered Coach Richt displayed a side of him that we haven’t see much. All I can say is “It is about time!” and lets make this become a streak to our favor.
- My community group was back in full swing tonight and we had a blast! We always eat the best food! Thank you guys for bringing your best food. We discussed the LAW and how the LAW reveals and communicates the character of God. The Law was a confirmation of a relationship with God rather than a condition of a relationship with God. (Starting Point)
- Tomorrow will be an incredible opportunity. I am driving Craig and Nathan over to NorthStar and their staff meeting to sit in with those guys while Andy Stanley does some staff training. WOW! What an opportunity to spend some time with Andy Stanley!
- I have a busy week with meetings and much organizational and administrative tasks.
- I have the privilege of going to George Walton Academy this coming Wednesday to meet with Sharon Shackleford’s class. I will be sharing about my trip to Israel two years ago and how we can have conversations of a spiritual nature with people from other faith journeys.
- I love my church. It is a challenge and we have a lot of decisions to make for the future, but it is much more exciting than what I ever imagined it to be.
This week should be a week of reflection for us all. Do we have people close enough to us that simply need Jesus? If not, then move wherever you need to be in order to be around some people that simply need to meet Jesus. What else is there?
