3 services!!!

November 4, 2007

OK it is the countdown to 3 services. We start a new series – POP CULTURE – and add a service, and change the service times for all services tomorrow. What were we thinking?

I know exactly what we were thinking. We need more space to let more people in to experience what it means to really be loved by God – just the way they are. No really….just the way they are!

I get happy each time I look out and see dysfunctional, abused people who get along and love each other and get to feel God’s love for them every week.

Is it going to require more time, effort, money and energy? Yes, but is it worth it? Yes.

Onward and forward – full steam ahead!

The Main Thing

October 29, 2007

Well, we finished the series “Whatever It Takes” with a reminder to focus on the main thing. In a phrase, the substance of the service was that as we do the “Whatever It takes” things, and as we try to become “Whatever It Takes” people, we should not forget that we are acting for One Person alone.

We cannot allow the “doing” to separate us from being continually aware that we are serving Christ with each action. In the busyness that follows all of us, we must find time to focus and adjust ourselves to the incredible fact that “whatever we do, do it as unto Me”

Things People Complain About

We are looking ahead at the last week in a series of messages at Lifepoint challenging us to do, “Whatever It Takes”.

Yesterday we talked about a few things that people complain about the way we do church.

We started with music. Some say that it is too loud. In response we sang the Big and Rich song, “Loud” and gave the deep spiritual meaning behind the loud music…we like it loud!
