Weekend Reflections

Loving the feel of this series, “The End of the World As We Know It”, one of my favorites we’ve done…

• Keeping the end times simple is harder that I thought it would be going in
• Bummer not having Saturday night services this week due to a dance at the school.  Numbers remind us (once again) that we really do reach a different crowd on Saturday night.
• Preached with bronchitis.  Thankful for a great doctor and good drugs.
• On the way to church I asked my son Jake, “what’s the best part about the tribulation?”.  His answer is my favorite quote of the week… “we won’t be here”.  Glad my son’s pre-trib
• Getting tons of interest in our Israel/Rome trip this December.  I’m pumped because it’s going to be an awesome trip!  for info email my assistant Kathleen at kflanagan@palmvalley.org .
• Loving the song “Glory to God”.  The team nailed it this week and the crowd was singing off the hook on that one.
• Loving how eager people are to learn about the end times stuff.
• Big props to Sean Smith, Creative Pastor, whom I called at midnight Saturday to make changes for the morning.  He jumped right on it and got it done, with a smile.
• Our Small Group had baptism during our meeting last night.  Awesome to baptize 7 members of our group declaring publicly their faith in Christ.  That’s 10 members in my small group I’ve had the privilege of baptizing in the last year.
• If you’re a Christ-follower and you’ve not gone public in baptism, what are you waiting for?  It’s the first step of obedience, take it!
• Pray for my bronchitis to go away, I want to be done with it.
• Make sure you don’t miss the last week of this series this weekend, I promise it’s going to be awesome!!
