Weekly Rundown (9.5.2010)

• Finished with LIES OF THE DEVIL this weekend.  New series starts next week: FOLLOW ME.


• I really believe this new series will be an epic one for our church.  We are going to examine what it really means to be a Christ-follower.  I am praying hard that we all see Christ more clearly so we can follow Him more closely!!  These are great opportunities to understand exactly what it means to follow Christ and live for Him.  Please pray!!


• Having several exciting conversations about missions opportunities before our church.  Getting a more "global" perspective of Christianity has been an incredible learning process for me.


• Remember in 2011 we will seek to DOUBLE our budgeted missions giving!!  This is a big step of faith-based generosity but one I am confident God is calling us to take as we seek to do our part to both demonstrate and declare the Gospel locally, regionally/nationally, and globally.


• Great First Wednesday service this week!


• Our Calhoun Campus is prayerfully working and preparing to move into a long-term lease at the old Piggly Wiggly location on Highway 41.  I am so pumped about this opportunity!!  Building decisions are so much more than money, bricks and mortar.  It is an intense spiritual process of seeking God on many different fronts. There are multiple decisions to make and details to work out but the ball is rolling and we are praying.


• Dawgs looked good in the opener.  Next week (@ South Carolina) we'll know more ...


• This week was my last week doing Football Friday for awhile.  I've done it for 4+ years straight now but being a dad comes first and it is hard to be out so late on Friday night when my kids get up so early (with so much energy) on Saturday!!  Seriously, that show has been a great way for me to be involved with something I love (high school football and young people) and try to represent Christ and our church in a different setting.  I am grateful to have had the opportunity.


• Have a great week!
