It's Sunday

It's late Sunday night and I am sitting here relaxed and content. What a great day!

Powerful service this morning!

A couple highlights:

• Worship was strong right off the bat.
• We tried a slightly different version of an older favorite, "Shout to the Lord," it was pretty cool
• We had a special guest from the Gideon's today, Aaron Trevis. He is the president of the Gideon's in Australia. He did a great job sharing the vision of the Gideon's. The accent doesn't hurt for getting people's attention either. :-) I think a couple of more of our people are signing up to be a part of this cool ministry. Love the unity across the body of Christ that happens within the Gideon's.
• Wrapped up our series "What I Wish Someone Had Told Me" today with the "10 Things I Must Remember." Posted below.
• Powerful response at the end of service. It never gets old seeing people make life changes.

10 Things I Must Remember:

1. I cannot change people; only God can do that.
2. I cannot make people love Jesus and serve Him; only the Holy Spirit can do that.
3. No matter what a person has done, he is worth saving.
4. Listen carefully to others.
5. Do not set goals for others. Expect more from yourself than them. Help them find their dreams.
6. I cannot take myself too seriously, but must take the time to enjoy life.
7. Accent the positive. Spend more time in praise and less in complaining. Be an encourager
8. I, too, have needs and God will use others to minister to them.
9. I will fail in many areas of my life, but Jesus never fails. Exercise faith daily.
10. I belong to God. I am answerable to Him. I must always do that which pleases Him only.
