One Church
Posted in General |
I’m excited to announce that Palm Valley Church will participate in “One Prayer” in June. We had planned for months to do a series called “The Ultimate Fighter” about being a man, but this opportunity is too big to pass up. We’re in!
The concept was created by Craig Groeschel of LifeChurch and is going to involve thousands of churches from around the world. The concept (read more here) is that in June all churches participating will come together and share each other’s teaching on the topid, “Lord, make us __________”.
The way it will work is that the first week of the series, each pastor will teach live to his church. Then for the next 3 weeks they will utilize video teaching from other pastors they choose. I’m stoked because this will give the people of Palm Valley Church an incredible opportunity to hear from some of the greatest teachers in America. We haven’t fully decided which teachers we’ll be using, but the top 3 I’m thinking of are great friends and have been a huge blessing to me and Palm Valley Church.
This is also a great opportunity for PVC to be a blessing to other churches. During the first week of May I will pre-record a sermon with my OnePrayer to be used by others. Gary Lamb has even asked me to fly down and speak live at Revolution. I love being a part of the Kingdom of God, and this series gives all churches the chance to come together and reminds ourselves that we are one church.
Palm Valley’ers: I’m going to encourage you to set aside June 7th/8th as we kick-off this four week series. I believe this is going to be a church-changing, world-impacting series that will truly bring God’s Church together under the name of Jesus! You are going to benefit from being taught by some guys who are my teachers, and they’re going to challenge us to a whole ‘nutha level! Please begin to pray that God will use this in a significant way to bring His church together.
Pastors: If you’re not in yet, can I encourage you to pray about being a part of this. You will benefit, your church will benefit, and the Kingdom will benefit. My prayer is that together pastors will drop the walls of pride and reputation and celebrate the name of Jesus together, and that His body will be built!
