Sunday Replay

It’s a few hours late, and maybe a day late, but I’m here giving you the low down on Sunday at The Ridge anyway.  Here’s the skinny….

• I don’t think someone is living right in our camp.  It has rained almost every Sunday since we launched.
• If you live in the south, you know that rain keeps people at home.  Can’t mess up that hair.
• Our attendance was not the lowest it’s ever been, but it was close.  Lots of people out this past Sunday with it being Father’s Day and the rain…that gave way to sun…which during the summer leads people to the lake.
• It blows be away that on weeks when our attendance dips, our giving goes up.  That’s all God.
• Week 3 of One Prayer….God Is To Be Worshiped.  
• I had not preached in 2 weeks and I wanted to preach all day, but I spared our peoples
• I love how those of us who know we don’t belong in God’s presence, will fight, scrap, and claw to get into God’s presence
• We ALL should do just that on a daily basis
• Even though we don’t belong, He wants us to seek Him and to want to be in His presence
• Worship starts with a bold sacrifice, will cost us something of value, and is becomes our response to God
• YES, I believe that people in the room Sunday are wrestling with a costly sacrifice that God wants them to make but aren’t because they keep thinking of how much it’s going to cost them!
• I love what Joel Houston from Hillsong United said….Our vertical expression of worship must have a horizontal response
• We all worship SOMETHING
• The hotel we meet in has been very good to us but I think it’s time for new space….if we can find it
• Why a new space?….new digs for new people.  Change is good and good for growth
• Plus it’s a little stuffy and doesn’t have that celebration vibe to it
• I’ve been contemplating a Twitter and Blog sabatical.  Not sure yet when and if I will do it
• There’s a lot to focus on right now and I can’t be slipping
• Truly blessed to find out that I was selected to attend two HUGE coaching networks.  Unfortunately I only have time for one.  It’ll be a tough choice
• There are some great things coming down the road….just gotta work through the static
