Friday Night Lights
Just finished watching a weird “princess” movie with the kids…just put them in bed and the Friday night lights are out. Gloria had Bingo tonight. Yes thats right she had to work Bingo down at the Knights of Columbus! This of course is another first for her. Caleb is in a basketball league and the parents are supposed to help work Bingo… what you do for your kids!
I am excited about this Sunday as we not only have our first baby dedication but we are going to jump into a new series called It’s Personal.
We are always saying that at Renovation home base for us is God’s Word. There we find HiStory for His glory and for our great benefit. It is where we discover the Grand Story that is God and how our little (but meaningful) story fits into His Big one. It is where we unpack what is significant and what isn’t… how to live a life of significance… how to waste a life. It is where we go to learn and understand that our Creator loves us and wants to have personal relationship with us.
We have had a ton of guest over the first two months at Renovation… and when you couple that with the growth that we experienced this past fall at Elmwood I know there are a lot of people who have been on a spiritual journey but have yet to cross over and to actually take His invitation to a new life. So for the next four weeks we are going to try to help people step over that line of faith.
I am praying that God may move in the hearts of young and old and that we might see 100 people come to know what it really means to have a personal relationship with their Heavenly Father over the next 4 weeks. Wouldn’t that be incredible to believe and pray that God would move in the hearts of many to see them accept the Father’s personal invitation to really know Him!
This is a series that Andy Stanley did at NorthPoint over a year ago and it was such a powerful series of messages that I have been waiting for the right time to share them. I believe that coming out of the Wild Goose Chase that this would be a great time to challenge folks to take their “foot off the brake” and follow hard after Christ!
Pray for Nick he thinks he has Strep Throat! yikes…hard to sing...
