Weekend Reflections

Live Like You Were Dying has been incredible…

• It has surprised me a bit how people have taken to the theme.
• There was an air of anticipation this weekend. People came really wanting to learn how to forgive.
• It was heavy. During all 5 services you could sense that people were wrestling with pain and hurt from the past.
• Had 1 guy storm out saying “I can’t forgive”. I thought that was one of the most honest statements I heard this weekend. I know his pain, and I’m praying for him.
• Loved that the guy sitting behind him chased him down to hug and pray with him.
• We don’t forgive because we feel like it, nor because they deserve it, but because we’ve been forgiven.
• Loved the worship in the middle of the service. Amazing Grace always makes me tear up. It describes my life!
• Markiss was hitting it on electric guitar; loved seeing him come out of his shell
• Excited about baptisms in 2 weeks!
• Incredible Home Team Sunday night. We had a “fiesta” potluck wiht mexican food. Man, can our group bring the food. It was awesome!!
