Another great day at Mountain Lake yesterday! Here's why:
- Did you know that the song we sang: "Worship will Rise" was written by our Worship Pastor Todd Nichols? GREAT SONG, TODD!
- We closed out our ALIENS msg series.
- Btm line: "When we become Christians, we don't just become aliens, we become part of an alien family."
- "Because God views us differently, we ought to views each other differently. If HE is our Father, then what does that make you and me? Brothers and Sisters!"
- "You've heard that blood is thicker than water?As Christians we are bonded together through the blood of Jesus Christ! That's a POWERFUL common bond!"
- Unveiled for the first time our initial plans for our new paradigm of small groups being rolled out this Fall: "Life Groups. Doing Life. Bringing Life."
- I REALLY shared my heart with the Mountain Lake family about our heart for our church and our church family. If you're a Mountain Laker, I PRAY you'll watch the msg online HERE later in Monday.
- "Our understanding of the church as a family should be reflected through the way we prioritize each other, send time with each other, and stick by each other, even we disagree or have conflict!"
- The band came and performed a song called: "This is Home" by Switchfoot, and I asked for a commitment from every person in the room. The chorus says this: "This is Home; Now I'm finally where I belong; Yeah, this is home; I've been searching for a place of my own; Now I've found it,Yeah this is home."
- "A key represents the fact that THIS HOME is where I belong.When I take the key to a new home, it is a great day; but it is also a scary day, because I realize that I have to pay for this home! Keep it up! Maintain it! Protect and Defend it! And love the people in it!"
- We had keys strewn across the stage and I asked everyone to come take one expressing their commitment to embrace this as their home whether, they were:
- coming home to God for the first time, with Jesus as the key
- making a commitment to call Mountain Lake home for the first time
- getting plugged into our family through service and giving
- come BACK off the sidelines
- express their desire to stick by our family through thick and thin!
- Announce our upcoming series starting this next Sunday called: "OMG!!!" We are encouraging everyone to bring their cellphones to church this Sunday. Just get here and you'll know why!
- Another great day @mtnlakechurch.
