Sunday Night Reflections August 9, 2009
What a Sunday…here are my wrap up thoughts for the day…
- Saw around 30-40 people receive Christ today…that NEVER gets old!
- Stories of how Jesus changes lives are powerful!
- Florence had their largest non-Easter attendance today in our new location…got a feeling that AWESOME things are about to happen down there!
- “With Everything” by Hillsong is one of my favorite songs of all time–WOW!
- NEXT weeks service will be THE LOUDEST service we’ve ever had at NewSpring Church…can’t wait!
- A BIG ANNOUNCEMENT is taking place next Sunday as well…about to BUST to share the details…what I can say is WHEN I make this announcement I believe our church will go crazy!!!
- The week after that we begin a brand new series called, “Five Lies of the Devil.”
- AND…the series after that we will take five weeks and cover “The End Times.”
- I can’t believe we are closing in on ten years of ministry…we’ve seen Ephesians 3:20 come true right in front of our eyes…and as I’ve said before, I really do believe these first 10 years have merely been Jesus laying the foundation…and now He’s REALLY about to do something amazing!!!
- Was able to spend a few minutes with one of my heroes in the ministry, Rick Warren, on the telephone today…I think he may be the most encouraging guy on the planet! EVERYBODY needs an encourager!!!
- (BTW…no one ever got mad at someone because they were encouraged by them too much!)
- We are hosting “One,” a conversation for senior pastors, youth pastors and children’s pastors and volunteers this Thursday…got around 100 people coming from over 30 different churches…can’t wait!
- I blogged about it here…but there are just a FEW more spots if you think you might be able to come! (Details on the link.)
- AND…the week after that the coaching network begins…can’t wait to meet these guys!
- Began making some initial notes in regards to our Christmas services the other day…it will be here before you know it!!!
- Got home tonight and Charisse asked me and Lucretia to go outside and jump on the trampoline…I told her no but then she opened her eyes really wide and tilted her head a little and said, “Please daddy!” Uh…yep…I jumped for at least 30 minutes!!!
- Was great having the Clemson football team at our Anderson campus today! SOOOO ready for college football to get started!
- Thinking about backing off of running for awhile…my body is pretty beat up…getting older isn’t that much fun!
- Lucretia and I started taking dance lessons last week…and I amazed her with my awesome moves!!!
- Can’t wait until next week!!!
That’s it…good night!!!
