Yesterday was one of the most amazing days I can remember @mtnlakechurch in a while! These were some of the highlights:
- We Awe-daciously challenged the way we worshiped today by TOTALLY flipping the service an TEACHING BEFORE THE MUSIC.
- We caught EVERYONE off guard today.
- We changed the way we did our music, teaching, offering time, announcements...pretty much EVERYTHING was shaken up!
- We didn't pass the offering basket for the 2nd time in our church's history today. At our Grand Opening Service in 2000, I forgot to call for the offering!
- Austin Sisk did a GREAT job leading worship today. You are becoming a great worship leader, Austin!
- I laid out our new Awe-dacious goals for our church today. I'll post LATER on these. AWE-DACIOUS STUFF!
- "Awe-dacity" series is based on Acts 2:43: " A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders."
- Awe-dacity: Daring to BE the people of God. Daring to BELIEVE HE can use us to change the world.
- "An awe-dacious life is a life devoted to Christ, for Christ, and living in his power."
- "The best way to honor someone is to care about the things they care about."
- "Every time God calls us, He calls us OUTSIDE of our comfort zone."
- In the 9:30 service, people started spontaneously standing up during the message as a sign of their commitment to Christ and His cause! Never had that happen before!
- Newcomer's Lunch was AWESOME today! Great turnout!
- Blake Stanley, our new Exec Student Pastor started officially today. Heard GREAT things about his leadership, teaching, and vision this weekend!
- My friend Dave Travis, from Leadership Network surprised me and showed up with his family to worship. Love that guy.
- HUGE attendance today! God is growing this church big time right now!
- Another one of the highlights of the day for me was seeing a couple, for whom I had testified in their divorce case, greet me in the lobby, holding hands. WOW.
- God is doing some amazing stuff right now at @mtnlakechurch.
