Sunday Night Reflections

A few thoughts from an amazing day.

• I am amazed at the power that comes from the spoken word of God.
• Kicked off worship with a gospel version of "O Happy Day" - that will always get you excited about the resurrection of Jesus!
• All areas of the tech team hit it out of the park today. We used a variety of elements to communicate the truth of the gospel and they did not miss a beat, thanks team!
• Did you know a few of the guys on the tech team worked at the church until 11:30 Saturday night to get things right for Today?
• When people respond like they did today, I am reminded I am simply the instrument God uses for it is not about me or my ability.
• I started blogging 2 months ago; today I received confirmation that is wise a wise thing to do.
• I believe the series our new series on Total Forgiveness will be just as powerful as our "Storm" series.
• To all our childcare volunteers; THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
• Our Indiana friends head north this week, I will miss them all. Hurry back.
• I will admit I was a little nervous using the taxi driver and nun story today.
• Mark 16:7 has got to be one of the greatest verses ever recorded regarding forgiveness. The verse reminds us all that God is the God of second chances and it is found in the phrase "and Peter".
• Remember there is nothing to gain by holding oneself in unforgiveness and there is everything to gain by releasing oneself from unforgiveness and beginning the process of healing.
• I am still pumped from today's worship.
• Want to know if prayer works; Just ask the Hanke Family
