Sunday Night Reflections

A Few Thoughts from an Amazing Week...

• Preached on the transforming power of the cross this morning. 
• The power of the cross is seen in how it changed Simon of Cyrene, the Centurion and Joseph of Arimathea. 
• Today's preaching point; the closer you are to Jesus, the more likely you will be transformed by Him.
• Transformation is seen in how we react to Christ, We can come to him just as we are, but we can never leave Just as we were!
• This verse keeps running through my mind today, Mark 15:39, when the centurion,who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” Think about it the centurion probably never saw Jesus perform a miracle  never heard a him teach, however he was transformed by the way Jesus died - Wow!
• Easters Coming!
• Can there be any greater day to preach than next Sunday? I am pumped!
• Sunday's messages are titled; Sunrise Service, When God Calls your Name. Morning Worship, Inspired!
• Gators move to the Sweet 16!
• In 1977, I saw the original Lynyrd Skynyrd Band, this past weekend my daughter saw the new Lynyrd Skynyrd band - Good music has staying power - in the words of Ronnie Van Zant - "Turn it up!" 
• Began a mentoring program this week, looking forward to seeing what happens next.
• Big changes happening at FCC, it is exciting to be on the "ground floor" of this new venture. 
• I am surrounded by an amazing group of people in my department at FCC. 
• Can you believe 1/4 of 2013 is almost over. Better start checking out my naughty and nice list soon!
• To my friends up north, believe me Spring will come one day!
