Happy Father’s Day to all you dad’s out there. Hope you had a blessed day if you’re a dad. Here are my ruminations on the day.
— Today is my 12th wedding anniversary. I have the GREATEST wife on the planet and wouldn’t trade any of our years together for anything. I love you babe and can’t wait for the next 12 and beyond!
— GREAT spirit in the services today. Good response to the worship and the Word.
— In first service we had a moment. The Spirit of God was VERY heavy and evident in the place. It was one of those moments that you cannot create or plan for, it just happens when God falls on a service.
— The response during worship in first service was amazing!
— Adam and the band absolutely NAILED it today. Knocked it out of the park. They helped usher us into the presence of God and led the way with passionate worship.
— The song selection today set up the message perfectly. The medley of Overcome, Same Power, and I Am Free totally paved the way for the Word to be spoken.
— When you get a chance, make sure and thank the worship team for the amount of time and effort they put into leading us in worship. Not only do they give a TON of time, but they are excellent at what they do. A bunch of the worship team gets to head to Colorado Springs tonight for the Enter Worship Conference. Be praying for them as they go.
— 1st and 2nd service attendance was solid today. 3rd service was pretty slim.
— I told a POSITVE John Elway/Denver Bronco story today. Enjoy it Bronco fans cause it may not happen again.
— Continued One Prayer today. Spoke on God is VICTORIOUS!
— If God is victorious, and He lives in me, what does that make me? VICTORIOUS!
— John says “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Chrst!” Why aren’t more people living in victory?
— “We need to stop viewing our spiritual lives with the attitude of impossiblity, and start remembering it is God who gives us the victory.”
— Announced our next sermon series today via a video promo. Untouchables begins July 12. I’ll post a video later this week you can use to invite your friends.
— This year we are taking aim at the church. Tackling 3 issues the church needs to hear about. Integrity/Character, Money, Gossip.
— Announced our first ever Element Tailgate and Baptism party. On Sunday, July 19th following our third service, Element will be providing a BBQ lunch for everyone who wants to come and celebrate with people as they “go public” with their faith through baptism. We’re gonna hang out in the parking lot, worship together and watch as a bunch of people make their public confession of faith. We already have 17 people who signed up for Baptism. There will be a BUNCH more. Plan on being there. It is going to be a BLAST.
— Sunday, July 5th we are having church in the park. One service at 10 AM. No childcare is provided but ALL families and ages are encouraged to attend. We’ll be meeting at the Lyons Park amphitheater. It will be a great time of worship and a message from the Word.
— If you haven’t turned in your baby bottles for Life Choice yet, please get those to the office this week. We have received a TON of money filled bottles so far. Thank you for all who supported this effort.
— That’s about it. Hope you all have an AWESOME week! Remember…God is VICTORIOUS!
Following Christ,
Jeff
