Sunday Postgame

Oh yeah! Days like today energize me.

We had a very full schedule for service this morning. 4 babies being dedicated, highlighting men's ministries and some upcoming events, report back from our missions team to El Salvador, all this along with our "normal" elements made it a packed morning.

The worship was on today. God was speaking and encouraging some people during worship. He already has the answers we need and the miracles we are seeking. We just need to remember that He is mighty and the victory is His. How incredible would it be if we actually lived our lives like we really believed the Word of God in full faith of His working.

To dedicate 4 babies at once was a great honor! I love that I get to participate in these kind of life events with families. Pastor Staci did an incredible job with getting everything together. Little Noah, Adam, Jesse, and Genevieve all have a very real place in God's Kingdom and He has a great plan for each of their lives.

We have some fun things planned for the men in the coming months. The men's convention, Gameday, in March is going to be a powerful weekend. We'll have more details next week.

Our El Salvador team made it back safely. They had a very impacting trip. They finished painting the prayer fortress and installing new locks on the doors in the dorm rooms. I look forward to hearing more of the details from the trip.

I'll be honest, preaching is like most other things in life in that some days you feel in the groove and some days are a struggle. Today was one of those groove days. The message has been burning in me for several days. Last night as I was going over the message I had some fresh inspiration. It was definitely God inspired and He gets the glory for anything that took place in anyone's life. We had a number of people make a commitment to be more intentional in their walk with God. To be one with God will require everything you've got. We must live in God's image and not try to form Him into ours.
