Here are my ruminations on the day.
— Left my sermon notebook at the office and didn’t realize it till I went to bed last night to study it. Sabrina was gone to a ladies retreat with some Element women. NOT a good feeling. I have my routine and don’t do well outside of it. YES I know I have a problem. Thankfully Sabrina was on her way back from the retreat and went by the office to pick it up. I studied it on my computer then went over it in my notebook this morning.
— 475 today. Seemed like LOTS of our regulars were out today. Broken record I know but, we’re out of room.
— Didn’t feel great about the message today. Thought I delieverd MUCH better in first service than second. Not sure why, just one of those feelings.
— I was nervous about this message cause I felt like it would have been a great one for (this is going to sound wrong) a pastors or church leaders conference. NOT that I’m qualified to speak at a pastors conference, but the content was such as it would have fit that.
— The Big Question was: What makes the church evangelistic? Most times it is the pastors and church leaders who will determine if a church is evangelistic or not.
— Excited about next Sunday. Gonna talk about how WE can be evangelistic personally.
— I think we’ve made evangelism WAY more difficult than it has to be. It is not typically what we think of it to be. Cold call witnessing. Romans road. Gospel tracts. Those can be PART of evangelism but don’t define it.
— We’ve heard some cool stories lately. Types of stuff that make doing this all the better.
— Love seeing people file into church. The lobby in between services is insane.
— Can’t think of much else. Thanks to the Elementers for being a part. Thanks to you who follow along.
Following Christ,
Jeff
