Yesterday, once again, God showed up BIG TIME at Mountain Lake! Here are a few reflex:
- I LOVE making our church better by NOT Teaching every week! I gain such a fresh perspective of God’s work in and though my church, when I;m NOT teaching but still IN attendance! MORE pastors need to release their “pulpits” more often and attend their own churches! Novel thought…
- I swear October is busier than December around here because of all the kids’ activities going on! Attendance always dips! But crowds were UP yesterday!
- We continue to be up in attendance by 20-25% every week this Fall! God is growing His church!
- Baptized 3 more people yesterday! One lady who had attended our church for over 8 yrs!
- Do you realize we are baptizing people every week in our worship services?!
- Todd, the Worship Team, and the band did a GREAT job yesterday moving people to worship yesterday. The last song: “Let me Sing” moved me to tears in light of the message.
- Speaking of the message, I thought Rodney Anderson gave one of the best messages I’ve EVER HEARD yesterday! God really used it in my life, and I know yours, as well! We’ll have it uploaded by noon today on our website.
- When I truly realize the extent God went to, to create me the just the way I am, I’ll stop trying to be someone else!
- Traffic continues to be an issue getting off campus. We’re doing EVERYTHING we can! It was compounded yesterday by all of the Fall leaf lookers from ATL!
- I got to to personally talk with two members of our BAND yesterday about going public with their faith thru baptism! They’d better not chicken out on me!
- I’m so glad to lead a church where the Creative Arts ministry can be a pathway to belonging and becoming!
- I also stopped in my neighborhood to talk w/ my neighbor wh0’s been attending our church since our Grand Opening, and he said to me: “Shawn, we need to get together and talk about how I can become a Christian. I have no idea how to do it.”
- Would you say it was a good Sunday for me? Hope it was for you.
