Sunday Replay

This Sunday we dove right into the meat of Ephesians in our new series entitled UNITED.  It was a good week, with lots to be encouraged about.

• Pastor Caleb Tipton preached through verses 3-14 in chapter 1 of Ephesians and nailed it.  He’s a brave soul for choosing to take on one of the toughest bits of scripture, and probably the most fought over bits of scripture in all of the Bible.  He did an awesome job of unpacking it so that people could see the Gospel in it and how it relates to their own lives, no matter what side of the boat they are on.
• The auido will be available by Wednesday HERE
• It was a beautiful thing hearing our crowd sing Hosanna louder than the band.  And if you’ve heard how loud the band is, then you know this is no small feat!
• Because we meet in a hotel, it’s always fun to see curious on-lookers come down the hall to check out and see what’s going on when the band starts playing.  Some have even stayed for church!
• You gotta hear pastor Caleb’s opening when he talks about test scores and what those test scores will predetermine in the mind of a teacher.  Made me literally laugh out loud several times.
• Sunday night we gathered our leaders together for some VIP…vision, information and prayer.  It was awesome to see them all in the same room again, talking about this upcoming fall and celebrating what God has already done.
• The best part of the night was when everyone shared what God was doing in their ministry areas.  God is moving…it’s gonna be a wild fall!
• Speaking of moving….this Sunday, and also August 1st, and 8th, we’ll be meeting at Oak Ridge High School for our Sunday worship experience.  THIS SUNDAY, AT OAK RIDGE HIGH SCHOOL.  Check out the website for more details and directions.
